I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT THE SEAT BELTS IN MY 1994 PLYMOUTH MINI VAN CAN UNLATCH IN AN ACCIDENT IF A BODY PART OR OBJECT CONTACTS THE RELEASE BUTTON. IF THIS HAPPENS WHICH IS VERY LIKELY IN AN ACCIDENT WE AND OTHERS IN THE SEATS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE. I WANT THEM RECALLED AND REPLACED BY DC. *NLM

GEN3 DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT RELEASE AS PER ABC NEWS PRIMETIME 3/7/2002. *AK
I SAW HOW DANGEROUS THE GEN3 SEATBELTS CAN BE ON PRIMETIME(ON ABC). CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THESE SEATBELTS BECAUSE THEY RELEASE EASILY WITH THE SLIGHTEST PRESSURE DURING AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T FEEL THAT MY KIDS ARE SAFE USING THESE "SAFETY" BELTS. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER(1-800-853-1403) THEY SAID THE GEN3 BELTS WERE SAFE AND THAT I COULD NOT REPLACE THEM WITH ANY SEATBELT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS DESIGNED TO FIT THE BELTS. I AM WILLING TO PAY FOR SAFER SEATBELTS BUT THEY HAVE OFFERED NO SOLUTIONS. PLEASE SEE THE WEB SITE: UNSAFEBELTS.COM THE WEB SITE: UNSAFEBELTS.COMSAFE CAR AND WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER(1-800-853-1403) *AK

WE HAD THE MINIVAN IN FOR THE REAR LATCH RECALL, AND IN THE PROCESS THE MECHANICS REPLACED THE CHEST BUCKLES FOR BOTH INTEGRATED CHILD SEATS. BEFORE, THE CHEST BUCKLES WERE PERMANENT. NOW, MY CHILDREN CAN REMOVE THEM AND TAKE THEIR ARMS OUT OF THE RESTRAINTS. I AM EXTREMELY ANGRY ABOUT THIS, AS IT POSES A SERIOUS THREAT TO THEIR SAFETY. WHY DID THEY CHANGE THESE BUCKLES AND CAN THEY CHANGE THEM BACK? AS A SIDE NOTE, OUR FIRST 1994 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER WAS TOTALLED WHEN WE WERE FLIPPED BY A SPEEDING POLICE CAR. MY TEN MONTH OLD SURVIVED BECAUSE OF THE BUILT IN CHILD RESTRAINT WITH THE PERMANENT CHEST BUCKLE!!!!. *AK
