Consumer Description

I OWN A 2000 DODGE CARAVAN WHICH IS EQUIPPED WITH GEN 3 SEATBELTS. I HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS, AGES 1 AND 4, WHO RIDE IN MY VAN DAILY. ON AT LEAST THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, ONE OF THE SEAT BELTS SECURING MY DAUGHTERS' CAR SEATS IN HAS UNLATCHED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WAS I UNAWARE OF THIS UNTIL I STOPPED THE VEHICLE TO GET THEM OUT. LUCKILY, NO INJURIES HAVE OCCURRED YET; HOWEVER, I CRINGE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT COULD OF OR WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I AM EVER IN AN ACCIDENT. THE SEAT BELTS ARE GOING TO UNLATCH AND MY DAUGHTERS ARE GOING TO BE UNPROTECTED. DODGE PROMOTES ITSELF AS BEING "THE SAFEST MINIVAN" AND A "FAMILY MINIVAN" WHICH IS WHY I CHOSE TO BUY THE DODGE CARAVAN. HOW UNTRUE THIS IS. DODGE HAS A SERIOUS CRISIS WHICH MUST BE DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY
