The seat belt light is on after the seat belt is fastened keep relaying a message on the evic screen as driver seat belt is unbuckled. Sure this will cause the seat belt to not operate properly during a collision. Very big safety concern. Didn't notice till I started drive down the road then the evic screen message mail alert was saying drive seat belt unbuckled

I was in an accident with my son as the passenger. We were traveling at 55mph when a vehicle pulled out in front of me. I never hit brake as there was no time...we drove through the front of his car. Impact was so hard his radiator was shifted to the left side of his car. My son bore the brunt of the impact as the hit was on the passenger side. None of the air bags went off nor did his seat belt tighten. He hit his shoulder on the side window and cracked it. I know in 2012 and 2014 Chrysler had issues with air bag inflators and seat belt tension devices on the 300 model.
