This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Seat belt attachment bolt at driver's side shoulder was over tightened at the factory and may fail upon impact. The severly srtipped bolt was removed during side window replacement.
I'm filling out this report not to complain about an incident but to prevent future ones. I've read and seen on television (primetime, abc news) the reports about the safety concerns of gen 3 seatbelts that have been installed in some Dodge vehicles. As an owner of a Dodge Caravan (that has gen 3 seatbelts) and more importantly as a mother of an infant, I would like to see these seatbelts recalled and replaced by the manufacturer. I would like to see the safer gen 4 seatbelts installed in all the vehicles they were originally placed in. Thank you.
Owner states while driving the seat belt attachment from the middle seat area that hooks into the floor will come out. She notes that vehicle has the same problems as well as the others, faulty spring clip.
