About 2 months ago the passenger seatbelt in my vehicle just tore out of nowhere. The seam seemed to unravel and it completely broke. Took it to get repaired had some issue but my complaint today is to help save someone from this or maybe others may have had same issue. The seatbelt was poorly made or defective. It could have gone bad but nobody was injured and it took them a fight to fix,it, and never received an apology.

-took vehicle to service center, they told me to call 800-992-1997 and ask for authorization for replacement. - its at the service center for larry miller Chrysler, so I am not sure why they are not calling to get approvals. The seatbelt should never have unraveled or torn, they keep saying my warranty just expired, but this is a factory issue, no seatbelt should be tearing every and I have had the car for 3 years now. My concern has nothing to do with the safety recall, this is a separate issue. My seatbelt on the driver side has began unraveling, ive been driving since 16 teen and never saw this before. I went to buckle my seatbelt about a week agao from 10/14/2024 and it would not pull through and I notice it was actually torn in half to the middle mark of the canvas belt. This is a fyi, I have taken it to dealership, they are looking it over. They did without looking just say to me out the blue I have never heard of this you must have cut it. ( that was insulting, why would I, [xxx] just cut my seatbelt)? the larry miller dealership, service center is a joke. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.

This vehicle was involved in a tragic car accident. The passengers both suffered deep laceration to the skull and other vital parts of the body. There was a recall notice that was sent to the owner 4 months after the fatal accident had occurred. Based on police inspection of the vehicle, they’ve determined there was mechanical failure to the vehicle which can be seen through a police bodycam at the police impound lot. The front passenger suffered a 6 inch deep cut to the skull according to the medical examiner’s report. The child in the rear also suffered a deep laceration to the ankle and foot despite being restrained in a child seat. Driver suffered a graze cut to the side of his head and survived the tragic accident after recovering from a coma he stated that the brakes did not function properly when depressed moments prior to the accident. Data recorder from the vehicle shows the driver was depressing the brake pedal the entirety of the time up to the moment of impact. This vehicle was t-boned by an SUV, and this accident should have been survivable, however the passenger seat looks to be torn out of its brackets according to the pictures from the accident scene. I am requesting this vehicle be investigated as there are many vehicles similar to this one that could have dangerous defects which were outlined in the safety recall notice that was mailed to the owner. The safety recall did mention to stop driving this vehicle immediately, however this notice did not arrive in a timely manner to where anyone could have taken action immediately. I am requesting that this vehicle be inspected for not only the safety of the community it’s but for identifying why two people lost their lives due to a manufacture failure that could have been prevented if notification was sent in a timely manner. Thank you and I look forward to following up with someone regarding this immediate and dangerous concern. I have the original letters and when they were mailed to the owner.

Seatbelts have failed, malfunctioned on separate occasions throughout the years. Inspection of my vehicle is welcome for study on the seatbelts. On arrival to destinations, seatbelt or seatbelts will lock, and unable to release from the the button-press mechanism. Myself or passenger will then need to climb out of the belt from the bottom or top of restraint. Another note for safety hazards is the struggle to get back into the contraption isn’t time worthy- traveling from destinations sitting over top of seatbelts is an issue- a life or death situation. As there has not been physical altercations yet- I am concerned of the seatbelts locking and the mechanism button to unleash seatbelts fail, putting safety at risk for all passengers. The vehicle typically passes inspection, as for the malfunctions don’t happen while being inspected. There are no warnings whatsoever as to when the button click mechanism spontaneously locks into place.

The seat belt light is on after the seat belt is fastened keep relaying a message on the evic screen as driver seat belt is unbuckled . Sure this will cause the seat belt to not operate properly during a collision. Very big safety concern. Didn't notice till I started drive down the road then the evic screen message mail alert was saying drive seat belt unbuckled.

I was driving down the road and the car just shut off all at once. I immediately put emergency flashers on and crank it up only for it to do the same thing 3 or 4 more times before it starts to drive normal as if nothing ever happened. This happens while I am driving down the street, turning or whenever it feel like cutting off.

While the car is still. Seat belt is stuck and will not release. The air pressure symbol stays on. We have to climb out of the drivers side seatbelt.

While vehicle was parked, attempted to buckle driver's side seat belt, but the seat belt would not connect - the mechanism inside of the receiver would not lock the seat belt into place - therefore the "seat belt not engaged" indicator continued to sound - since the seat belt cannot be locked/secured. Mechanism is broken, and needs to now be replaced before vehicle can be safely driven.

I requested that they buy the car back/ and pay me for lost of use of our vehcile,. He said in order to get the car repaired/ I must sign a release of all harms.

Chrysler has offered me 8. 000 to sign the harmless release and then they will give me my car back after one year of suffering, is this right? help me please, we have no one else to turn to for help. No one.

Driving on interstate, car stalled with no warning, unable to put car in gear, all electrical sytems completely shut down, had to coast to access road an have car towed for service. . Next seatbelt on passenger side will not come out. . Cant be used. . Airbag lights illuminated. .

The passenger front seat belt locks for no reason and then will not unlock without taking the seat belt off, letting it retract, then putting it on again. When it locks it is super tight and almost chokes you.

On a level surface with and without the auto running, seat belts are fully extended, and will not retract.

While parked in my drive way, about to leave for work, discovered the seat belt latch would not work. The internal mechanisms of the seat belt latch malfunctioned and would not allow the belt to be latched. Personally disassembled the latch and discovered the spring had disengaged from the metal lock that catches the hole on the male end of the belt. Because of this, some of the components had shifted around inside completely disabling the catching mechanism from moving. Hadn't noticed any issues prior to the latch becoming inoperable. The latch that broke was on the drivers seat. Found a used latch from a junk yard and replaced it. I currently am still in possession of the old seat belt latch.

I was in an accident with my son as the passenger. We were traveling at 55mph when a vehicle pulled out in front of me. I never hit brake as there was no time. . . We drove through the front of his car. Impact was so hard his radiator was shifted to the left side of his car. My son bore the brunt of the impact as the hit was on the passenger side. None of the air bags went off nor did his seat belt tighten. He hit his shoulder on the side window and cracked it. I know in 2012 and 2014 Chrysler had issues with air bag inflators and seat belt tension devices on the 300 model.
