The vehicle is equipped with gen3 seat belts which has a release button which protrudes from the rest of the buckle. The button can be accidentally Y bumped which causes the buckle to release. The consumer contacted the manufacturer about the buckle but they refused to replace the seat belts.

The safety seats in my van have defective latch plates! the latch plates that I'm referring too is the plate that is right at the child's armpit level. This latch plate when pulled on will pull completely apart. I believe that this is unsafe for my son to ride in. I have read a lot on child seat safety and it is very important to me. I velieve that with the knowledge I have in this area that in a car wreak this latch plate would pull apart and my son could be very seriously injured or even killed. He would probably be thrown between the two shoulder belts instead of being held between them. I have reported this to Chrysler and they have replaced my buckles 5 time. They do not consider this to be a defect yet I do! I have had to purchase my son a century car seat. All 5 of the buckles that I was given all had the same problem. I don't know how they think a child would be safe! I fear that there are other children riding in these integrated car seats and there parents are unaware of the problems with these latch plates and that there children are unsafe. I would hate to see any child hurt because of this problem. I still have a couple of the buckles if Y ou would like to see them please let me know and I'll be glad to get them to you!!! thank you for taking the time to listen! I appreciate what youdo trying to keep the roads and our families safe!
