Front Seat Belt Buckle Assembly problems of the 2002 Chrysler Town & Country

Two problems related to front seat belt buckle assembly have been reported for the 2002 Chrysler Town & Country. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Front Seat Belt Buckle Assembly problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2004

I would like to see diamler Chrysler recall the gen3 safety belts installed in their vehicles. I currently drive a 2002 town and country van with these belts securing my 2 children.

2 Front Seat Belt Buckle Assembly problem

Failure Date: 04/28/2002

Rear seat belt latch around child car seat will mysteriously unbuckle. Proper installation of the car seat has been verified several times but latch seems to unbuckle after normal movement of my child in the seat. My research into this issue revealed that Chrysler installed gen iii latches in the rear of our van even though there is evidence showing that they are unsafe. This is a very frightening situation and I will be contacting the dealer to try and negotiate replacement of all rear seat latches in this vehicle. I hope that these latches will be recalled before someone else gets injured.
