Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE CARAVAN AND HAVE READ THE ARTICLES CLAIMING THE BELTS TO BE UNSAFE. MY FAMILY HAS SEEN THIS HAPPEN WE HAVE HAD OUR CHILD'S SEATBELT THAT HOLDS HIS CARSEAT IN PLACE COME UNLATCHED AND AT THAT TIME WE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY. NOW THAT WE HAVE READ THE ARTICLES ABOUT IT I UNDERSTAND HOW AND I AM CONCERNED. NOT ONLY IS IT UNSAFE FOR MY CHILD BUT I AM CONTINUOUSLY TURNING AROUND AND CHECKING THE SEATBELT OUT OF CONCERN ALSO AND THIS MEANS I AM TAKING MY EYES OFF THE ROAD. WE HAVE E MAILED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS AND HAVEN'T GOTTEN A RESPONSE FROM THEM AND I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT AND THEY JUST SAY THAT WHO EVER IS WRITING THESE ARTICLES ARE BLOWING IT OUT OF PROPORTION. I DON'T THINK BEING CONCERNED ABOUT MY CHILD SAFETY IS GOING OVERBOARD. THANK GOD WE HAVEN'T HAD AN ACCIDENT WHEN MY CHILD'S SEATBELT WASN'T FASTENED OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT BUT I DO WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THESE SEATBELTS. *JB
