45 Seat Belt problem of the 2009 Dodge Journey

Failure Date: 05/13/2016

I was driving about 45 mph last night and had to stop abruptly to avoid a deer. I weigh about 220 lbs and the seat belt buckle broke. This allowed the belt to unfasten. Luckily I didn't hit anything and didn't really need the belt because of the slow speed and the fact that no other vehicles were involved. If this would have happened in a more severe crash, I could have suffered significant injuries or death. I wonder how many other people have experienced this. I have the old part in my possession if you want to inspect.

46 Seat Belt problem of the 2015 Dodge Journey

Failure Date: 04/01/2016

The plastic around the driver and passenger seats has broken off exposing sharp metal, as well as binds the seatbelt up preventing proper use. The seats were used as they should be, the plastic clip that looks to have secured it is too far to the side to withstand a driver or passenger getting out of the vehicle if they turn to the side. I was talking with a person at work about this issue as they own a Journey and have the same exact problem. Our vehicle only had 13k miles when this happened, so it's not an old plastic issue. I managed to cut my leg when wearing shorts due to this issue, so it is a safety problem.

49 Seat Belt problem of the 2014 Dodge Journey

Failure Date: 12/17/2014

I was driving my Dodge Journey one day and the seat belt light came on showing that somebody wasn't buckled but I was the only one in the car. So I leaned forward and my seat belt came unlocked. I thought to myself thinking it was just me maybe I didn't buckle it in right. Then I buckled up again and later on that day my wife was driving and it did the same thing. She said she heard a click noise and the seat belt light and ding noise came on so she leaned forward and the seat belt was not locked it had came unlocked from the driver seat part that you connect the strap into. It continued to happen off and on and now we wiggle it to make sure it stays locked but sometimes it doesn't work. The seat belt will click and lock but will some how it comes undone later while we are driving. So we hear the click noise when it locks and we pull on it to make sure it stays locked and it does fine sometimes and then other days it comes unlocked while we are driving. Now we know when its going to come unlocked because you can hear it make a click noise and the seat belt light and dinging noise comes on and we right away know its our seat belt that came unlocked. We called to dealership so we can get it fixed just recently but wont be able to get our vehicle in until middle of September and called another dealership but wont be able to get it in for about 3 weeks. This is the driver side seat belt. We travel alot for doctors appointments for our youngest child who has a disability so this makes me very worried.
