Seat Belt Problems of Dodge Caravan - part 2

I am horrified to know that my 2000 Dodge Caravan has gen 3 seat belts installed after Dodge knew full well that they come unlatched unintentional during a crash test. It made me think back about my van and realize that my seat belts have become unlatched. I have also put my children's car seats in and they too have become unlatched. About a month ago I went away and bought my dog along, I placed my dog in the seat with a dog seat belt and she kept becoming unlatched. I am very concerned about this and want the gen 4 seat belts installed in my van. I am going to try and sell it now unless I get it changed. Who do they think they are putting millions of people in danger when the consumer/victim are trying to protect themselves and their family from harm. How dare they!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want something done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

1996 Dodge Caravan- gen 3 seatlbelts. Twice the seat belt has come unbuckled around my child's carseat. I just happened to notice it. I don't even know how long I had been driving with it unlatched. After the first incident (about a year ago) I have checked the security of it every time we get in the car. I have noticed it unlatched once more since then. Not sure how it happened because there was nothing on or around the seat that could have unlatch the belt. I recently saw the article in the February issue of parents magazine which led me to the website discussing the concerns around these seatbelts. I personally am alarmed. Our Caravan has been our main vehicle and I hate knowing my children are not safe. These belts really need to be recalled.

I own a 2000 Dodge Caravan which is equipped with gen 3 seatbelts. I have two daughters, ages 1 and 4, who ride in my van daily. On at least three different occasions, one of the seat belts securing my daughters' car seats in has unlatched while I was driving and was I unaware of this until I stopped the vehicle to get them out. Luckily, no injuries have occurred yet; however, I cringe to think about what could of or what will happen if I am ever in an accident. The seat belts are going to unlatch and my daughters are going to be unprotected. Dodge promotes itself as being "the safest minivan" and a "family minivan" which is why I chose to buy the Dodge Caravan. How untrue this is. Dodge has a serious crisis which must be dealt with immediately.
