Seat Belt Problems of Dodge Dakota

I bought this 1995 Dodge Dakota brand new in 1995 and it only has original 92,110 miles on it. The problem with this Dakota I have replaced the drivers front seat belt and the replacement again is falling apart again where it will not release for a person to get out of. I don't know if the air bags will not deploy if the seat belt is not working properly. Again the seat belt needs to be replaced again as it physically is falling apart again.

Passenger airbag was turned on but didn't deploy when hit head on and seat belt broke in two sections. Driver was driving normal and a truck coming opposite way hit a truck three truck length ahead spun out of control and hit our vehicle head on.

Takata recall. On 2/4/2016 I took my truck to courtesy Chrysler/Dodge/ram located at 9207 adamo drive east in tampa,FL. The airbag inflator was replaced. As soon as I drove off of the dealer's lot I noticed that the seatbelt warning light and alarm would not turn off. I immediately returned to the dealership. The parts and service manager said the dealership was not responsible, although I explained that the problem did not exist before my visit to the dealership. The dealership said that they would have to order a new seat belt buckle at a cost of $125. 00 + labor. I refused to order and pay for a part to fix a repair that did not exist prior to my visit. I was making an 11 hour drive the next day to start a new job and I needed to have the problem resolved. The parts and service manager was very unprofessional. I left the dealership. The seatbelt warning light and alarm still continue to go off and on although I always wear my seatbelt. Note that I called the fiat Chrysler automobiles (fca) recall assistance center on 2/4/2016 after I returned from the dealer. I described the seatbelt problem but fca was just as uncaring as the dealer.

I purchased a 2006 Dodge Dakota on July 2, 2014 from crowson auto world, 541 hwy 15, po box 889, louisville, ms 39339. Upon getting this vehicle home I discovered that the seat belts were not properly working. On three occasions I returned vehicle to dealer and each time dealer failed to repair this vehicle. I had vehicle inspected at other dealers and found that "seat belt lite and chime do not work" and "instrument safety lights are inoperable". I need help to convince the dealer that it is not legal to sale vehicles with defective safety equipment.

The plastic tension device on the seat belts (buckle end) are breaking off. This is of most importance with my child safety seats. It does not allow for the seats to stay in place as they loosen up in just one short trip. This affects the safety, security and life of my children. This needs to be repaired right away.
