SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
I HAVE A DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WITH GEN-3 SEATBELTS IN IT AND HAVE HEARD THAT THEY OPEN DURING AN ACCIDENT. ESPECIALLY WHEN USED WITH CHILD CAR SEATS. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD AND HAVE HIM IN A CAR SEAT. I HAVE TO HAVE THESE SEATBELTS REPLACED AND FEEL THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING AROUND WITH SEATBELTS THAT CAN RELEASE IN AN ACCIDENT.

AIR BAGS
ALL 3 COMPONENT FAILURES LISTED IN COMPLAINT DUE TO FAILURE OF CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY. CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AS THEY HAVE REPLACED OVER 124,000 OF THEM BUT REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. MY DEALER QOUTED ME $250 COST TO REPAIR. THIS IS IN LINE WITH RESEARCH RESULTS FOR COST OF THIS REPAIR. HOPEFULLY NHTSA CAN EXERT PRESSURE ON CHRYSLER TO COVER THIS DEFECT AS IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. THANKS FOR LISTENING.*AK
