| The rear seatbelts on the rear bench of our 2002 dodge grand caravan do not stay latched on our carseats. in june of 2003 i notified dodge and they stated they had not received any complaints regarding this issue. they now have my complaint - referral #11380233. the rear bench is also not latch equipped but does have one rear top tether anchor placed in the middle. i have 3 (soon to be 4) children in carseats. i was under the impression that all seats were to be latch compatible in all positions. as for the seatbelt issue, the dealer claimed ignorance to the internet so i have printed off the stories on unsafebelts.com to take to them today when i go to pick it up. they claim they have not been able to trigger the response - but then they didn't try to buckle in one of my many carseats either so they will be doing that today.*ak | |||
