The seat belts in the rear are guided through a metal d ring that has a plastic housing. This housing cracks and prevents the seat belts from retracting. This issue relays to most Dodge, Jeep Chrysler products that all utilize the same part for front and rear seat belts. The issue has been acknowledged for front seat belts but not rear.

The driver's seat belt does not retract quickly on exit. It often flops outside the car and gets closed in the door.

My seatbelt seemed a bit faulty when I purchased the car. It was slow to retract and at some points wouldn’t retract unless I played with the seatbelt. Three years in to owning the car it still won’t retract fully and is at the point where it won’t come out to a safe distance that allows me to wear my seatbelt. As for the electrical defaults, there are times when I am driving and the display, between my speedometer and rpm dials, turned off. So would my center display, yet my radio continued to play. There were no warning signs or signals when that would happen. It is always random.

I bought this car for 11,000 in September of 2019, since having this vehicle I had and have many issues with this car. October my stero touch screen stop working and my gas tank needed to be replaced. I got it fix for over 500. 00 the following month my key fob sensor went out and this was the in the month of November. The vehicle is a Dodge Challenger supposed to be an sxt on the car fax but in person the motor is not a sxt this vehicle has no original parts of Dodge. The Challenger has aftermarket wires, headlights from asia, and wires every by the motor where open wires should not supposed to be witch is unsafe to drive off the lot. The Challenger airbags plus other mechanical mechanics issues was reported from brandon Dodge dealership witch qld was aware of and did not resolve the issue before selling me the Dodge charger even my seatbelts is unsafe. The month of January, 2020 I was driving my car on the interstate and my car just shut off I had to drive to autozone I got a new battery that same month I approached the manager of qld and informed him with everything that's going on with the vehicle the manager responded that's a personal matter and I was left on my on to care of this car that I can not afford to fix a and pay for monthly vehicle that is not reliable. March 27, 2020 I was driving from my apartment complex and my power steering pump fell out of the bottom of my vehicle I later on that day got the car lifted and to found out the power steering pump was zipped tied and not secured to a bracket. I feel that this company is just looking for a dollar and do not care about what type of dangerous unsafe hazardous vehicles they are selling to customers who are unaware of these issues.

My driver side seat belt will not latch and the engine has a pretty distinct tick and I have read a lot of 5. 7 hemi engines have the exact problem.

Dealer is telling me that the defective driver side airbag harness is not recalled only passenger side? airbag harness was diagnosed defective and idiot light is on. Because this is rt model it is omitted from recall??? please add rt model to recall! thank you.

My seat belts in front seat gets stuck so we're unable to get out without pulling with force and now can't even fasten seat belt indicator light doesn't even alarm even those seat belt isn't fastened.

The driver side seat belt will not extend. It is stuck without any slack. I am not able to put on the seat belt to drive. Big saftey hazard. Nothing happened that caused this to happen. The seat belt worked fine the previous day. The car was parked in front of my house as I tried to put on the seat belt but it wouldnt move. Its not safe to drive because an accident can happen at anytime and there is nothing preventing the driver from hitting their head into the steering wheel or flying through the windshield. My car is only 7 years old. I feel that the manufacturer should fix this issue at no cost to the owner of the vehicle.

Passenger seat belt keeps locking up when driving have to unclip it to release.

(jft dealer info inadequate, no mention of seat belts, no mention of the vehicle being towed, no mention of medical attention) tl the contact owns a 2016 Dodge Challenger. While driving approximately 54 mph, the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a cement median. The vehicle flipped over multiple times during the crash. The driver was thrown from the vehicle and sustained fractured ribs, a fractured left arm, and fractures to both legs. The three year old rear passenger sustained a head injury. A police report was filed. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The local dealer (curtisy Dodge) was previously notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 11,000.

The car started doing a rear wheel hop in second gear change as already reported to Dodge. Dodge has offered to replace the car prior to the accident via a mr mike macdonald. This wheel hop was previously reported to 3 Dodge dealers who said this was "normal". On the offer to replace the car I was told to continue driving the car until the replacement came. I should have not taken that offer. The car almost killed me. The air bags did not deploy. The seat belt did not restrain me, as my head slammed into the steering wheel. Multiple cases of air bags on these cars not deploying has come up in google searches. Both driver side tires ruptures when the car went sideways for the second time after what I can only imagine was the throttle being stuck. I can provide images later after the hospital of the tire hop marks. Dodge should be held accountable for selling a coffin on wheels. Oddly, mr. Mike macdonalds phone sends me straight to customer service now.

The seat belt receiver spring locks causing the belt not to be able to latch or stay latched.

I just bought my car 7 months ago from locklear. Current mileage on it is about 43,000 which puts me right outside my warranty. I haven't had any problems with it until recently. I noticed when I would unbuckle my seat belt that it would tend to get stuck in the buckle. A few days later I'm leaving my house to drive to town and my seat belt wouldn't click into the buckle no matter how hard I tried. I check out the buckle and apparently the piece inside of it broke and now I can't buckle my seat belt at all! this is a huge safety concern because I always wear my seat belt in case of an accident and it's a costly ticket if I get pulled over. I called my dealer and they say the cost of just the buckle alone was 200 and the labor would be expensive too because it will take more work to take the seat completely out. Total is nearly 350 just to replace a buckle! unfortunately I don't have that kinda money to spend so I can't get my buckle fixed or wear a seatbelt :(.

After purchasing the 2011 Dodge Challenger in December 2015 the car seat belt senor has been repaired; now in January 2016 the airbag light indicator stays on after being in motion for 15 minutes. Has both the recalls been properly repaired?.

I was sideswiped on I-75. I was going around 75mph. I went head on into a guardrail, and the set belts didn't lock and the airbags did not deploy. The car had less then 3,500 miles on it. I had owned it less than a month. My car was completely totaled. This was June and my neck is still hurting and burning.

On July 12, 2012 while detailing the inside of my car in order to reach some areas that I could not reach through the trunk I was pushed the front seats forward so the rear seats would drop down by design and was in an odd position to start with, and had the seat belts on the driver side rear pushed out of the way. While working on the detailing they slipped and managed to wrap me up around my chest and neck (it happened so fast I could not get out of the way). As I struggled to free myself they refused to relax and continued to tighten up no matter how much (what little slack I had to give) so that I could pull them back out. I reported this very same problem but not to the same level with my 2007 Dodge ram front belts, and Dodge did not take action. In order to free myself I had to use a pocket knife that I had in my pocket that after some slight relaxing I was able to reach to cut the belts and free myself. Chrysler has refused to address this, and denied my warranty because I cut the seat belts to free myself. I fail to understand this logic as it was my only choice to get out of the vehicle. This is nothing new to Dodge and has been discussed on numerous Chrysler product related forums on the internet, all of which when they were contacted they refused to act on the matters. A seat belt should only lockup when a hard forward motion stop is made, not in a stationary setting as it did in my Challenger trapping me.

My 2011 Dodge Challenger was in a head on accident. The impact push the motor under the dash, cracked the transmission, crumbled the front of the car almost to the windshield. The Challenger has an air bag on the seat, well that air bag; nor the air bag on the windshield pillar or the steering wheel or passenger air bag deploy. Not only did the air bags fail, but the seat belt did not lock to restrain a person from avoiding injury. This is my second Challenger, my first Challenger had a bad paint job and this one could of cost me my life. I have the vehicle, awaiting for Dodge to inspection the defects. It has been 5 days and I have yet to hear from Dodge nor are my calls being returned.
