Seatbelt for driver no longer retracts or locks when brake is applied. Doesn't retract back when vehicle is off and seatbelt is removed just flops. Back lift gate opens and then closes and suspends halfway will hit your head if you're standing under it. Interior overhead lights do not turn off while vehicle is in motion and running. Don't turn off for about 5-10 minutes after vehicle turned off and is locked.

I was driving down the street and 1 vehicle in front of me about 3 to 4 car lengths. The woman was going same speed, I looked to my right to assure a dog was not going to run into the strret, 2 seconds, an looked back at road and person in front had stopped, with no turn signal on and no oncoming traffic. I firmly applied brakes and tried to veer around the car but there was not sufficient space and hit the back of car so hard it tossed around items in the car breaking front windshield, knocking off my glasses. The force was so hard it thrust my body hard onto steering wheel and leg into dash. The airbags did not deploy for driver or passenger. The seat belt did not hold my body to the seat. I have a very serious contusion on left leg where putting weight on the leg is terrible pain. I have a fractured sturnum(chestbone) making breathing, walking, getting up or down, reaching for something extremely difficult and extremely painful. Your site by VIN number states there was a recall on airbags, I never received any notice of a recall on airbags or seatbelt. I phoned local dealership for history and they reported there has never been a recall on this make and model. I talked with insurace agent and an attorney and they had no information of recalls on this vehicle. Now I dont know what to believe, but I do know something is wrong as either the airbag or seat belt should have prevented me from being thrust forward so hard to fracture my sternum and cause serious injury to left knee. I would like an investigation as to why the airbag and seatbelt did not work properly. I dont believe this vehicle is safe. Please conduct the investigation.

The seat belt component cracks causing it to push on the seat belt and therefore, not allowing the seat belt to retract. This happened almost a year ago, we haven't been using the seat. We just finally had it looked at and we're told that both of them in the 3rd row are cracked but the driver side is currently still working. I have photos but I can't upload it on this form. The picture with the crack on the side is the one not working. The one with the crack in the middle still works.

Durango

  • 70,000 miles
Upon parking and removing the seatbelt, I noticed it would not retract. Upon further visual inspection, there is a crack on both sides of the part that holds the strap. Dealership states this is not covered under warranty. However, this seems like a huge safety concern if the part is faulty and there had been an accident. Please see picture.

Airbag light and service airbag system warning constantly on. Airbag system deactivated. Very dsngerous if collison were to hsporn. Told my VIN is not included in recall P67, which is the issue I am having. This seems to be a common problem with multiple reports of not being included in the recall yet experiencing the same safety issue that is covered under recall P67.

I have 2 active recalls on this vehicle, they are T59, brake booster water shield may have been incorrectly installed, and P67, occupant restraint control (orc) module may develop an internal fault. I have 1 active campaign on this vehicle, it is U06, autopark functionality. I just purchased this vehicle on June 23rd, 2018 at performance Dodge la vista, Nebraska. I was informed by the performance Dodge la vista, Nebraska service department that the recalls were performed, and not reported, due to lack of personnel in the recalls reporting department. Meanwhile, I drive a new/used vehicle, wondering if the dealership actually addressed the open recalls, and campaign on my vehicle, with my safety at risk. This is highly unacceptable, it is now September 16th, 2018, and the recalls, and campaign are still outstanding on my vehicle. I am looking to you for assistance in this matter. I am also worried if the work was not actually completed, and just reported as complete by the dealership, the thought of this is frightening, again, since my safety, and that of my family, is at risk when operating this vehicle. Thank you for listening, and I hope to hear from you regarding a resolution to this matter soon. Good day, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The seat belt will not retract nor lock up (tension) when stopping suddenly. I have taken it in to the dealership for this issue once already. They told my husband it was due to me yanking on the seatbelt. Which is something I do not do. I cannot even feed it back into the slot. I discovered the seatbelt would not lock up while exiting a parking lot. A vehicle turned in front of me and I had to slam on my brakes. I believe I was only going about 20 -25 miles per hour. I was barely able to stop myself from hitting the steering wheel. The seat belt never locked. This is a 2014, with a little over 49,000 miles. The seatbelt should not be having issues like this. Now it is going to cost me a good deal of money to fix. Being that this is a safety feature, I feel it should be covered from the manufacturer.

problem #4

Mar 152017

Durango

  • 44,000 miles
The airbag light will frequently illuminate and disable seat belt tensioners and airbag function. Same thing that is under recall with other Durango vehicles (recall P67). Dodge claims my specific vehicle is unaffected and not under recall but I find it hard to believe since the exact same issue is occurring. Any Grand Cherokee model made the same day as my vehicle, or the exact same Durango if manufactored two months later, is covered under the recall, but they claim my Durango is not. The Grand Cherokee using the identical module in their vehicle. Part to be faulty has been found to be the orc module (occupant restraint control) by a local shop, same problem as similar recalls yet they claim mine is not a part of. With current situation, driving the vehicle safely is non existent until repaired. Airbag and seatbelt malfunction would lead to serious injury if an accident were to occur.

Durango

  • 50,500 miles
On 3/6/17 the passenger side front seat active head rest deployed without cause or crash. When driving in normal conditions the passenger side head rest tethered to the seat suddenly and unexpectedly deployed causing damage to the head rest. Attempts to repair this and or find the cause at the Dodge autonation dealer located at 21027 I-45 North, spring, tx 77388 (877-791-6569) where the vehicle was purchased met with a declined repair due to the damage was listed as "trim". at the time the ahr deployed a passenger was in the seat at the time but was not injured due to the "tethers" held the front face of the head rest from projecting outward/forward. I was notified by the service director at the Dodge dealer frankie freeze this has happened before and he has personally seen this type of deployment without cause. In the service manual in the event the ahr deploys there is a "reset" process. Due to the high velocity of the head rest deployment the unit itself was damaged to include the head rest cover and was not able to be "reset". no visible damage is apparent to the vehicle itself (crash), and no visible codes or warning light (I.e. airbag light) are displayed. At this time I have disputed the claim by Dodge that this is a "trim" issue and the service department can not determine why the head rest deployed and referred the issue and deployment to a investigator. I suspect but have no evidence of the deployment of the head rest was caused by the right rear rear passenger opening the factory installed video system installed in the front passenger seat (rear entertainment system). It is possible the back of the flip open monitor plastic shroud struck the back of the head rest when opened causing it to deploy. The vehicle was in operation in normal traffic conditions at night with little to no lighting in the vehicle. A distinct and loud pop was heard from the seat.
