1996 Dodge Caravan- gen 3 seatlbelts. Twice the seat belt has come unbuckled around my child's carseat. I just happened to notice it. I don't even know how long I had been driving with it unlatched. After the first incident (about a year ago) I have checked the security of it every time we get in the car. I have noticed it unlatched once more since then. Not sure how it happened because there was nothing on or around the seat that could have unlatch the belt. I recently saw the article in the February issue of parents magazine which led me to the website discussing the concerns around these seatbelts. I personally am alarmed. Our Caravan has been our main vehicle and I hate knowing my children are not safe. These belts really need to be recalled.

None of the automatic seat belts lock. When pulled they extend about two feet. Dealer contacted, and stated the computer did not secure the seat. Could be remedied. Problem still exists.
