In the last month or so, i've noticed that the seatbelt won't stay completely latched with the buckle in the driver and passenger seats. This causes the seatbelt light to come in at random times. In order to buckle the seat belt, you also need to depress the red buckle button slightly and insert the latch plate.

Seat belt latch on passenger front will not latch without pushing the red button in and will not turn off red indicator light on dash. All the interior door latch handles are breaking or are already broken making it nearly impossible to open door from inside. Both would be dangerous in an accident situation.

The seat belt first started not buckling unless i pushed down the red button. Then it begin to chime when someone is sitting in the seat with the seat belt buckled. The buckle must be held a certain way for it not to chime while in motion. This is a safety hazard. The dealer is charging approximately $900-$975 to replace both seat belts. This should become a recall for the safety issue plus lots of people are having…

Both front seatbelts stopping allowing the buckle to be latched with inserting the latch unless i depress the release button. After a few months the passenger seat belt light began illuminating and chiming but the buckle was latched. If i moved the latch within the buckle at a certain angle it would stop but i'd have to hold it there causing a safety issue while driving or have the passenger do this task. When i am…

The middle seat belt in the back seat is tightened to the point of not being usable. The plastic lock that prevents the seat belt from retracting too far broke off while using the 40/60 split feature. Upon online research, this is a known common problem with several model year chrysler vehicles. This is also the only seat belt compliant for child car seats so to have it not working is a safety concern.
