5 Front Seat Belt Buckle Assembly problem of the 1998 Dodge Durango

Failure Date: 02/01/2004

Almost every time I go to put my children in their car-seats the safety belts have been released from the children wiggling to get into their car-seats. We make a big issue of our children being properly installed intheir car-seats. We have read all the user manuals and even taken classes to insure we are installing them properly. None of this does us any good when the seat-belts release so easily. I have problems with this almost daily. Will it take one of my family being injured or even killed before there will be something done. This has happend more times than I could even count.
