Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V668000 (Seat Belts, Air Bags) however, the dealer informed the contact that the recall repair was completed by the previous owner in November 2022.

Issues with seatbelts which pop out when tension or force is applied on the belt. Passenger seat belt had first started to show signs of failure when the seat belts safety button would unclasp when braking. Now, after some time and usage the passenger's belt does not clasp fully at all and takes a good minute for it to catch. Driver's seat has started to show signs of this as well as when I had to brake hard and when pressure was applied to the belt, the clasp had given way and popped out.
My seatbelts will unlatch whenever it feels like it, the seatbelts won't go in by themselves anymore, amd this all happened after we fixed the recall. Then all in a year the throttle body quit working, the alternator stopped working, it will not keep a charge, and sometimes when your driving for no reason at all the inside lights will dim and brighten. This all happens while in motion except the battery constantly dying even though the alternator and battery are new.
Between in the middle of September til now. I purchase this vehicle on a Monday with $500 down. 2014 dodger Avenger with 74K and bought the other$500. So in total $1000 down. And when I bought the car up to the dealership. It had to get expected, no receipt for it or nothing so I don't know what they had expected. Therefore, everything was good. I had to bring it back to dealership after I called them about the problem. I have paid two cars off and this is my worse experience I had with a vehicle I was driving. It was good while it last but the second time same thing happen first time. I would like to get my down payment back along with the notes I was paying. Thank you and god bless. This happened while car was in motion to were I would have had a little traffic behind me. Since Saturday night it's been parked and Monday 10/14/2019

I bought my car and like a month later was notified of a recall it was for the airbag, however my seatbelt would just come unlatched. I took the car in for the recall to be fixed and did mention it to the dealer. I than received the car back and I am still having the same issue. I will be driving down the road or freeway and you can hear it unlatch and comes off. It has been happening more often and no one knows why.
This vehicle had a safety recall of S61. Work was performed and then aur bag light and signal came on. We need help getting this fixed. This light and air bag signal turned on immediately while exiting the Dodge dealership. I have 2 witness stating light was not on nor warning alarm. Could this module have a defect.
It is the airbags but I'm not sure if it's considered the takata recall. But I've received two to three different letters about the recall and I've gone to the dealership numerous times. Everytime they say they don't have the parts to fix and now the airbag light keeps going on and off. I called to schedule an appointment for one of the two recalls and not they are saying there is no record of a recall for my car.
