Consumer Description

THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT MECHANISM DOES NOT LOCK. IT APPEARS TO BE LOCKED IN BUT WHEN YOU PULL ON IT, IT DOES NOT STAY IN THE LOCKED POSITION. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THE PASSENGER WILL NOT BE PROTECTED. MY SONS FRIEND WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE VEHICLE AND IT CAME UNBUCKLED WHEN THEY CAME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT. I DO NOT SEE ANY RECALLS AT THIS TIME AND HAVE FOUND COMPLAINTS TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION.*DT
