Six problems related to front seat belt buckle assembly have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Seatbelt in middle position of backseat has come unbuckled 3 times. Child safety seat is installed in this seat. Vehicle has not been examined by dealer.
There exists a recall on the seat belt retractors which is being honored by the dealer, however, the latching receptacle on the passenge side has failed. It does not latch securely and will release of its own volition. The dealer wants to charge for a new latch and while the cost is not exorbitant, I feel this is a safety item and should be factory warranted without limit. If I were the company I would far rather repalce an item such as this as opposed to being subject to a lawsuit for someone injured or killed due to failure.
We were involved in a mild roll-over on I-94 near tomah, wis. We slid on black ice and upended into the snow bank. No injuries. My wife was restrained in mid seat, r side. As car rolled she slid off end of seat out of locked seat belt system ending up unrestrained on the roof. We have contacted tanner motors and will be talking to.
Consumer was involved in a frontal collision in which the driver's lap and shoulder belt did not lock up, cause unknown. . Et.
I would like to know what consumers can do to get replacements for the gen3 seatbelts which have been tested as unsafe according to the abc news report. The seatbelts can unlock in an accident. Please do something to have these vehicles recalled.
The front bench seat belt on the passenger side did not latch properly. The seat belt became unlatched 3 times, while driving with the consumer's child in the car seat, which caused the child to fall out and hit the floor.
