I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH LAST NIGHT AND HAD TO STOP ABRUPTLY TO AVOID A DEER. I WEIGH ABOUT 220 LBS AND THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE BROKE. THIS ALLOWED THE BELT TO UNFASTEN. LUCKILY I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING AND DIDN'T REALLY NEED THE BELT BECAUSE OF THE SLOW SPEED AND THE FACT THAT NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN A MORE SEVERE CRASH, I COULD HAVE SUFFERED SIGNIFICANT INJURIES OR DEATH. I WONDER HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS. I HAVE THE OLD PART IN MY POSSESSION IF YOU WANT TO INSPECT.

THE 2ND ROW (CENTER ROW) DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WILL NO LONGER LATCH. NOTHING IS STUCK IN IT--YOU CAN PUSH THE SEAT BELT INTO THE LATCH, BUT IT PULLS RIGHT OUT. ALTHOUGH A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN (AS WELL AS WEARING A SEAT BELT BEING LAW HERE), DODGE CLAIMS IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL ONLY FIX IF I PAY FOR IT. *TR

I WAS SITTING STOPPED IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON 06.17.2008 ON HWY 270. A TRUCK TRAVELING AT APPROX 60 MPH HIT THE REAR OF THE JOURNEY . THE TRUCK REMAINED CONNECTED AND PUSHED THE JOURNEY FORWARD INTO 3 ADDITIONAL CARS AND ONE PICKUP TRUCK. MOST VEHICLES SUFFERED HEAVY DAMAGE AND ME AND TWO OTHERS WERE TRANSPORTED TO EMERGENCY ROOMS.

MY INJURIES INCLUDED CHEST COMPRESSION, BRIEFLY BLACKED-OUT, HEAVY BRUISING FROM THE LEFT SHOULDER TO THE LEFT KNEE, STRAINED NECK AND NERVE DAMAGE. PRE-ACCIDENT I WAS IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND WEARING THE SEAT BELT/SHOULDER HARNESS. POST ACCIDENT MY UPPER BODY WAS AGAINST THE DRIVER DOOR WITH THE STEERING WHEEL COMPRESSED AGAINST MY CHEST.
