Faulty seat belt in 1995 Dodge Dakota, had to be cut out of seat belt.told its going to be 300 to 400 to replace.even though truck is 10 years old I feel it was a defect ready to happen.no warning just put on as usual and tried to unlatch and wouldnt.had to drive to fire dept and be cut out.
Driver's seatbelt latch plastic case cracked, causing seatbelt to remain latched. Contacted 2 chrylser dealerships. One was unable to assist. The other did a computer search for all Dodge warehouses. Found no parts in stock in proper color. There was an estimated 8 month wait for part. Part was replaced by used part, found at a junkyard. Second part failed as well, held together by tape at this time.
Wife was in a K-mart parking lot the seat belt would not unlatch and it tightened up. Contacted dealer, and they told her she needs to make an appointment.
