The car involved was a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500. 2003 Dodge 1500 ram truck - 2 of the 3 rear seat belts have malfunctioned, and will not allow car seats to be secured. The part broken is a plastic piece near the male end of the seat belt buckle. This is not my very day family vehicle and in fact it is rare for me to use this vehicle with car seats. After contacting the dealership and Chrysler corp. I was told to pound sand. They insisted that I pay the the diagnosis fee before they review this for re-call review process. This may be a wide spread problem amongst Chrysler products. While the fix for me is simple, a $2 part at the kids store. . . The seat belt assembly it's self is quoted at $110. Many other people may not know the belts are defective or the remedy require to over come this. Chrysler and my local dealership (dishman Dodge of spokane wa) do not care about children's safety. I was never asking them to pay for this. Rather I was asking them to look into this to product children that ride in these vehicles.

The vehicle involved is a 2003 Ford f350 super duty. Vehicle identification number (VIN): 1FTWW33F93_. The seat belt latch in the rear of my 2003 Ford f350 4dr quit working approx 1 year ago. The button stays in so it will not latch. I thought the seat belts had a longer warranty, so I wasn't to concerned to get it fixed right away. I got a recall notice from Ford for the cam position sensor (7. 3l diesel), so while it was in, I asked about the seatbelt. They said my warranty was out by less than 2 weeks and could not help me. I even contacted Ford customer service and again no help. I have an 88 chevy truck and a 95 GMC and have had no seatbelt issues. It seems to me that the belts should function properly for more than 5 years, and the fact that it went bad at around 4 years is even worse. This rear seat belt buckle issue occurred Mar. 17, 2008.

The vehicle involved was a 2006 Honda Pilot. The vehicle identification number (VIN) of the car was 5FNYF285X6_. Traveling on a desolate highway, I heard my son whimper in the back seat. To my horror, I saw that he had tangled the seatbelt around his neck and was being lifted from his seat by it. My husband pulled off the road and we lunged back to release the belt. We then realized that he was not trapped by his own seatbelt but by the seatbelt designed for a center passenger in the second row. This belt comes down from the ceiling and connects at the seat to a latch designed without a quick release button. The latched belt had been resting against the seat behind my son's right shoulder. Playing with that belt, he had pulled it far enough to activate the retraction feature. Then he wrapped it around his head. When it began to tighten, he panicked, and it slipped down around his neck and tightened more. My husband and I grabbed the belt where it came out of the ceiling to stop it from retracting, but it was already too tight to get over his head. We were struggling to think straight. Neither of us knew how to detach the belt and we were trying to find something to cut it. Realizing the danger he was in, my son started squirming more. In calming him, we calmed ourselves a little. Thankfully, I remembered a friend mentioning he had found in the owner's manual how to detach the belt from the latch by sticking a key in a notch on the latch. I grabbed the keys from the ignition and popped the latch. My son was safe. Had only one parent been in the car, he would not have been able to hold the belt to keep it from retracting and reach the keys in the ignition - let alone find the very brief mention of this belt's operation in the user's manual. A driver could be unaware of this happening right behind him. My son nearly died with us helplessly standing by. It was 12/09/2007 when this rear seat belt buckle issue happened.. Read more...

The vehicle was a 1996 Infiniti G20. The vehicle's vehicle identification number (VIN) was JNKCP01DXT_. When my daughter went to buckle her seatbelt in the back seat of my car, the buckle wouldn't latch. I tried it, too--the metal piece slid into the other part without latching. Then it'd latch; next try it wouldn't. I couldn't trust the seatbelt, so we couldn't let the children ride in that car any longer. Thankfully the seatbelt failed when we were buckling the child in the car in the driveway heading out--and not during an accident, or on the way home. I'm mad that the seatbelt could fail without warning like that. How can I trust that the seatbelt will work properly when it's needed???!! I called the manufacturer and they confirmed a lifetime warranty on the seatbelt. 11/26 I took the car to the dealer and they replaced the seatbelt mechanism under warranty and checked the function of the other seatbelts. I'm satisfied that they've fixed it. . . But still concerned if the other seatbelts will fail without my knowing, and concerned about all the other cars of my make/model out there, whose seatbelts may have failed and parents don't yet know it. This issue happened on Saturday, October 27, 2007.

There was crash involved with this problem. The driver of the 1999 SAAB 9-3 was driving in the left lane on MA rte. 128 south. Her son was in a child carseat tightly belted into the driver's side passenger seat, the seat directly behind the driver. The switch on the belt buckle was set to the "child seat" setting. The driver signaled and began to change lanes to the middle lane which was clear of traffic. As she was shifting lanes, another vehicle, a light-colored sedan, began to move sharply into the middle lane from the right. The driver was forced to swerve to the left to avoid collision with the other vehicle, and her car went out of control. The car went off the road to the left and hit the guardrail in a front-end collision. The driver was thrown forward but was wearing her seatbelt, which held her. Her airbag did not inflate. Her son's car seat did not remain in place, but went forward and tipped over on its side, facing the middle of the car, so that when the driver opened the passenger door to check on her son, at first she couldn't see him, and she had trouble extracting the car seat. An off-duty fireman stopped to help, cut the seat belt and extracted the seat. The driver was taken to the hospital and treated for whiplash; her son does not appear to have sustained injury. The car was declared a total loss by the insurer, and the insurer towed the car and wants to dispose of it. We (the driver and her husband) contacted SAAB several times to ask that the vehicle be examined prior to disposal to address concerns about the performance of the rear seat belt and the driver's airbag; SAAB was unhelpful. This rear seat belt buckle problem happened on Thursday, December 21, 2006.

The car is a 1999 Saturn Sl1. Vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle is 1G8ZH5283X_. I own a 1999 Sl1 Saturn. On Wednesday 06/07/06, when I was taking my 23 month old daughter out of her car seat, I noticed that the car seat was loose. Upon further inspection, I found the buckle that holds the seat belt (the one that comes up from underneath the seat) had come un-stitched. When I pulled on the buckle it came out in my hand. I emailed Saturn Thursday morning and they told me to contact my local Saturn dealership. I went to my local dealership, Saturn of burlington, on Friday and showed them the part and talked with the service manager. She told me that they had never seen this before. She also told me that with the age of the car, being 7 years old, the best she could do for me was 10% off the part. It didn't a matter to her that we had only been using that seat belt for the last 4 months, since the birth of our son. The part costs approximately $49. 00. It is not the cost that bothers me, it is the "not my problem" attitude that bothers me. I was even going to put the buckle in myself. The dealership suggested I call the Saturn customer service. I left the dealership upset that they didn't see the enormity of the situation. I later called Saturn customer service and talked with melissa. After explaining the email that I sent Thursday, the conversation at Saturn of burlington, and my disappointment in the seat belt failure, she offered me a one time $50. 00 inconvenience gift certificate that I could use at any Saturn dealership. How can Saturn take seat belt failure so lightly? we are expected to buckle up every time we get in the car, but what is the point if the manufacturer of the given vehicle doesn't need to hold up their end of the bargain. Maybe we only need to buckle up in a vehicle that is less than 7 years of age since faulty seatbelts could be a given. If we had been in an accident before I found the buckle was un stitched, what would have happened to my 23 month old daughter, & my 4 month old son seated right beside her?. It was Wednesday, June 7, 2006 when this rear seat belt buckle issue happened.
