| Description of the problem | 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. |
