| The front right passenger seat belt does not lock or click in place. i researched recall number 04v047000 and learned there were similar issues. contacted the dealer and was told that there was no recall on my particular vehicle. this appears to be more of a manufacturer problem and a great safety risk. the dealer just took my info but offered no assistance. | |||

| I was a front seat passenger in a 2005 chrysler minivan which was a rental. we were in an accident in which there was significant front end damage. my seat belt did not lock on impact and i flew into the windshield. also, my airbag deployed late as we were rolling to a stop, therefore my knee slammed into the dash. according to records, this model van has a recall,but it was not purchased until 6/05 well after the recall it appears. please advise. *jb | |||

| The passenger side rear seat belt suddenly failed to rewind. this caused an unsafe condition as the belt became useless. as not all seats were then required, we have simply not used that seat awaiting parts. the belt is scheduled to be replaced this week. *jb | |||
