Ram 1500

  • miles
I have a 2000 Dodge Ram truck. I have a high-back booster seat in the back for my child. The best spot for a child is the rear center seat, but you must have a lap and shoulder belt for a booster. The outboard spots in the back seat of my truck are both lap and shoulder belts. Both rear outboard seats, are incorrect. The retractor is not an ALR, ELR, or a switchable, and they both have sliding latch plates - which mean that in the event of a crash or rapid deceleration the belts are not going to grip and stop any person from coming forward. The owners manual says that in the event of an emergency they will stop moving. I tested this out by driving and coming to a quick stop, and the two lap and shoulder belts in the rear never gripped. I don't know if this is a recall thing or if my truck just has broken back seat belts. Please help.
