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.
Please investigate the gen-3 seatbelt buckles and establish the 40mm or more stringent 30mm ball test as a standard for buckle safety. Also, I think that Chrysler should recall all of the vehicles that they put these in. The government needs to take action on this, because there is no telling how many have failed since there is no evidence after a crash, except for the fact that they can easily be bumped in a collision and release. The gen-3 seatbelt cannot pass the 30 or 40mm ball test and Chrysler knew about this since 1996. The most important piece of safety equipment in a car is the seatbelt. If it isn't then why are there seatbelt laws? if it releases during a collision, then I might as well not have it on to start with. Please take action on this!!!!
The gen3 seatbelts that are in quite a few family vehicles are killing people! they are reelease with too little presure. How are these belts suppose to keep our child seats safely secure? we need to get the message out to all and we need to get these fixed!
