| 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 | |||
