I purchased a used van, there seem to be several recalls either not idenitfied or not know about, either way they were not fixed. I have been unable to fine a dealer whom will acknowledge the recalls and repair them.
Shoulder belt on passenger 's side in the middle row of seats will not pull out so that a passenger can be restrained. Dealership informed consumer that part was no longer covered under warranty, and they were not going to touch it.
Seat belt retractor does not retract properly. Current belt rachet into position, and with bouncing caused by uneven roads, the belts ratchet even tighter, until child or other passengers have trouble breathing.
