I am writing to support a recall of the gen3" type seat belt buckles in daimler Chrysler vehicles. The buckle is dangerously prone to un latching during auto accidents and represents a safety hazard to as many as 16 million drivers.

This seatbelt is too easily unlatched by a simple touch of the hand or any other object. Our grand children can easily unlatch the belt and have done so on many occasions. I am also responding to a report viewed on abc news on this date (3-7-2002) concerning the gen3 seatbelt. After the report, it is obvious why the seatbelt is so easliy opened by children. It took the report on tv to answer my question of why the kids had done this so often, without really trying to unlatch the belt. This is a danger and should be addressed with a replacement or some type of protective device.

Two months ago, I contacted chyrsler about the middle bench seat belt, passenger side, coming unlatched. They informed me to go a dealership, of their choice, and have it checked out, which I did. After about an hour of waiting, I was told that all seat belts met safety compliance. Three and a half weeks ago, I had to come to a sudden stop from 55mph (someone turned out in front of me) and my 3 1/2 year old son came flying out of his high back booster seat because the seatbelt came unlatched. I have since, tried to latch the seat belt and it will not stay latched. I took my van back to the dealership today, 7/12/01, and they confirmed that the seat belt was in deed not latching and would order a new part to replace it. I was then told that I would not only have to pay for installation of the new part, but also pay for the part as well. I was also given the "run around" from Chrysler headquarters customer service department stating that the defect warranty was only for 36000 miles or three years. I feel as though it should always be covered as long as the vehicle is still running becasue it is required by law to wear a seat belt. Not to mention, I could have lost my child if I had hit that car or had been hit by someone else, when I was told just two months prior that all seat belts were in safety compliance.
