While removing four (4!!!!) child safety seats from the rear of our 2001 Chrysler t/c minivan, three of the seat belts did not retract. We took it to the local dealer who inspected the problem and told us it would be $850 to replace the defective seat belts. We politely declined while we research the issue. Apparently, we are not the 1st to have this problem. $850 sounds pretty steep to repair a "safety" problem. 3 out of four rear shoulder harness seat belts failing sounds like a "safety" problem to me. What's the point of car seats for small children if the seat belts don't work?.

Right rear seat belt in third-row seat of town and Chrysler Mini-van doesn't retract. Same belt was replaced in June of 2005 and has failed again.

It has come to my attention that "generation 3" seat belts may release accidentally in a crash. I unfortunately have these in my car where my three kids sit. It amazes me how little pressure it takes to release these belts and how exposed the buttons are. I can see why it would very easily come undone if bumped by something or someone in a crash.

The passenger side rear seat belt suddenly failed to rewind. This caused an unsafe condition as the belt became useless. As not all seats were then required, we have simply not used that seat awaiting parts. The belt is scheduled to be replaced this week.

I discovered by sitting for the first time on the back of my Chrysler Town & Country lx 2001 that the rear seat belts are not working. Indeed they do not block and even do not come back properly in place when not used. I went to my dealer who confirmed today that the 4 belts are defective and is asking $900 to replace them as they are claiming my warranty has expired. If I had not sat on the back I may have never noticed the problem. Those belts are certainly defective since quite some time already. I would like to know what means I have to have Chrysler covering for the replacement of the defective belts. Thank you for giving me orientation to follow to get my car secure again for my kids who are sitting on the back.

I took my town and country in for regular maintenance and also to check the rear seat belts. The seat belts do not roll up like they should. The dealer said the repair would be $950 to replace the retractors. They say they have not had this problem before. I am scared to death that my kids are not protected. Also, they do not seem to latch snuggly. I don't understand how this can happen in a car 4 years old.

Right, rear seat belt in 7 passenger Mini-van will not retract, therefore puts an occupant in the third row seat in danger.

Several times my sons seat belt that holds his car seat came unbuckled. The last time I had to stop suddenly and his car seat came forward. By the grace of god, he was not hurt.

We have a 2001 Chrysler Town & Country van with the gen3 seat belst in it. N our way home from dallas, we checked the kids seat belts before leaving my parents house. About 20 minutes into the trip, I heard a noise as my 10 month old baby dropped one of her tiys over the side of her car seat. When I turned around to look, I noticed that the buckle had unlatched and the toy was laying right beside it.

On 2 different occassions (in the two months we have owned this van) my 10 year old daughters seatbelt has come unfastened. I had no idea there was a problem with the Chrysler town and country seatbelts in the back passenger section until I saw a report on tv about it. I would not have purchased this vehicle if I had known about this problem. Note: your section that asks me to include the model of van will not let me put town and country -- it just lets me put "sprinter 2500" whatever that is. . . (changed to town and country via consumer's voq description on 12/9/04. Cat).

I have a 2001 Chrysler town and country minivan with gen 3 seat belts. I just heard of the report and I am very concerned.

Consumer brought the vehicle to dealer for repairs. When vehicle was returned the dealer, without telling, the owner rotated the seat belt buckles 180 degrees on the second row captains chairs. This would cause the webbing to ride over the red release button when used. Dealer said that they were told to do this by the manufacturer, to prevent an inadvertent release of the button because it was protected by the webbing. This would correct the gen iii issue. Odi spoke to dealer assistent service manager and dealer said that the seats were removed during repairs and the seat belts were accidentally put on backward. But odi learned from the compainant that another vehicle at the dealership had the same experience. Cw.

Consumer complained about seat belts located in the middle which secured child safety seat. When the driver made a sudden stop the seat belt, which secured the child seat positioned behind the driver's seat, became unlatched and as a result the seat hit the back of the driver's seat. The child was not injured. The consumer had the buckles checked at two different dealership and both times the consumer was told that the buckles were fine. The front brake pads and rotors were replaced. The driver's side tail light cover fell off. The sliding door handle came off.

The seat belts in my 2002 Chrysler town and country have come undone 4 times in the rear seat while enduring normal driving conditions. I now have an infant in the seat and it is very visual how the infant seat could hit the restraint latch in the seat belt in normal driving conditions or in an impact.

The seat belt latches (the gen 3 latches) in the two back seats of my 2001 Chrysler town and country release the belts too easily to protect children and passengers in an accident. My daughter's carseat was found unlatched one day. My husband and I always make sure the carseat is in correctly and we could only guess that the carseat became unbelted after the van was being vacuumed out at the carwash. The employees at the carwash must have bumped the latch without knowing and the belt was released. It doesn't take much of a bump to the latch for it to release the belt. Belts should not release that easily.

Third row seat belt is very difficult to fasten because of its length, it is too short even on a normal size occupant. This leaves the occupant un protected in an accident. Consumer had problems unbuckling seat belt. It turned out that the buckle and the seat belt has turned 180 degrees, and the release button ended up on the inside instead of the outside.
