| The dealership tells me that the seat belts will not activate unless there is impact. i would like you to open an official complaint, since i have tested several other cars, and they do not require impact before the seat belt stops. in other cars, the seat belt can be pulled quickly, and the belt immediately stops. in my minivan, the belt just continues out. have also tried braking suddenly, and the selt belt does not get activated. this is true for all 4 captain seats in my car. have researched on web site www.unsafebelts.com - as per this web site, the chrysler 1999 minivan is unsafe since it uses gen3 type belts. request you to evaluate.*ak | |||

| A) this form is horrible -- there is too much non-applicable information. b) i am a certified child passenger safety technician. i recentlyt have run into a problem with the cinch plates on the chrystler minivans. namely, they don't cinch and therefore require the use of a locking clip -- this runs counter to the 1996 act requiring restraint systems to be css freindly. please feel; free to contact me regarding this. | |||
