| Description of the problem | The third row seat, seatbelt broke, where the belt plugs in at the bottom of the seat. It snapped of while my four year old tried to buckle up a week or so ago. This was such a potentially dangerous problem. What would have happened if it snapped while in a vehicle accident? My boy would have probably been killed. While looking online i found multiple recalls on the vehicle, one being the exact same seatbelts. I called barnett chrysler jeep dodge ram kia in maplewood, mn, who said they would help me out with one recall, but said the seatbelt issue didn? T relate to my vin. I was basically told that i was responsible to foot the bill for their faulty product. Does this sound right? Is there some type of moral obligation or law that helps us out from being screwed over in this sense? Please get back, were taking the vehicle in tomorrow. We rely on this vehicle, there are six people in our family (four young children) and this is our family vehicle. |
