WE HAVE BUILT IN CHILD SEATS IN THIS CAR. THE STRAPS ON THE CAR SEATS DO NOT RETRACT PROPERLY, SO THE SEATS ARE UNSAFE. ONE SEAT HAS BEEN HEAVILY USED, THE OTHER STOPPED RETRACTING ON FIRST FEW USES. WORSE THERE IS NO PLACE TO GET THESE SEATS REPAIRED. DODGE HAS OFFERED ONE LOCATION, ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY. WHERE THE SEAT COULD BE REPAIRED AT STANDARD AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR RATES. IN FACT WHEN I CALLED THIS LOCATION THEY COULD NOT DO IT. NOTE THIS MEANS THAT DODGE IS COMFORTABLE WITH TWO UNSAFE CHILD SEATS IN THIS VEHICLE. DT
