Front passenger seat belt will no longer retract. Vehicle has not yet been examined by dealer. Consumer thought it wasn't restraining tight enough. Consumer had it checked and they seem to think it's working properly.

Rear seat belts got jam inside the spring mechanism that retracts the belts. Cause = the "tar"used at the factory (Dodge) for rustproofing got to the inside of the retraction mechanism making totally useless the safety belts.

Once rear left side seat belt was pulled all the way out it would not retract back into the mechanism. Van was brought to the dealership. Whole seat belt was replaced. It took more than two months before the part was available to correct the problem.
