Three problems related to front seat belt buckle assembly have been reported for the 1999 Volkswagen Eurovan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The rear seat female buckle apparatus breaks when a car seat is installed. The base plate of the buckle breaks off, allowing springs and other components of the assembly to fall out, at which point the assembly is no longer functional.
Rear passenger shoulder belt latch will not stay fastened while using a child safety seat. This causes the css to malfunction, and child to fall forward whenever brakes are applied. Can NHTSA help in this matter.
Design of buckle is not safe. Car seat became unbuckled from the seatbelt, and when the vehicle stopped quickly, the child flew forward and was injured. Dealer contacted and cannot duplicate the problem. Problem still exists.
