The contact stated that the ongoing pain was so severe. The vehicle was taken to a local tow yard. The vehicle was condemned as a total loss. A Police report was filed. In addition, the contact referenced an unknown seat belt recall that was initiated a while ago. The dealer was contacted; however, the contact was informed at that time that the contact's VIN was not associated with the unknown recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 165,000.

AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON AND THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS MALFUNCTIONING. THE NOTIFICATION STATED, "YOUR VEHICLE'S AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT RECENTLY INDICATED THE AIR BAG SYSTEM MAY NOT BE WORKING PROPERLY. THE AIR BAGS IN YOUR VEHICLE MIGHT NOT INFLATE IN A COLLISION, OR THEY COULD INFLATE WITHOUT A COLLISION IF YOU DO NOT GET THE REQUIRED SERVICE. HAVE YOUR VEHICLE CHECKED AT YOUR DEALERSHIP." THE REPLACEMENT WOULD COST OVER $300. OUR CHRYSLER PACIFICA IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AS IT IS A 2017 WITH 43,000 MILES ON IT, SO THIS SENSOR ISSUE WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THIS SEEMS LIKE A POSSIBLE RECALL CONSIDERING IT HAPPENED IN A VEHICLE ONLY 2.5 YEARS OLD.

DURING THE SEVERE BRAKING THE BELTS DID NOT BLOCK. MY SON HIT HIS HEAD VERY HARD IN THE FRONT SEAT. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS, HE COULD BREAK HIS NECK.

I WAS IN A ACCIDENT AND THE OTHER DRIVER WAS AT FAULT. MY PASSENGER SIDE GOT HIT GOING 65 AND THE CHEVY TRUCK RAN INTO TO US FAILING TO SLOW DOWN TO THERE LANE ENDING AND HIT MY PASSENGER SIDE AND THE SIDE OF THE VAN NONE OF MY SIDE AIR BAGS WENT OFF AND SHE WAS GOING FULL SPEED WHEN HITTING US. I WAS ALSO SEEN IN THE HOSPITAL DUE TO BEING PREGNANT.

THE SEAT BELT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE SECOND ROW SEAT FAILS TO LATCH WHEN YOU TRY TO BUCKLE IT. IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY AND HAS SUDDENLY FAILED TO LATCH ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE HAS 37K MILES. *DT *AS *DT *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN A INJURY CAUSING ACCIDENT IN MY 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. MY VAN WAS STRUCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT QUARTER PANEL AND SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE THERE. THERE WAS NO FRONT IMPACT. MY FRONT AIRBAG AND SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS IN MOTION AND SO WAS THE OTHER VEHICLE WHICH WAS A F150. I DO NOT KNOW THE SPEED OF THE OTHER VEHICLE BUT MY SPEED WAS ABOUT 15.WHY WOULDN'T MY AIRBAG DEPLOY?

PASSENGER SIDE MIDDLE ROW SEAT BELT FAILS TO FULLY LATCH, UNLESS YOU MOVE SEAT FORWARD AS TO STOW IT AND SLAM BACK.... THIS WORKS MOST TIMES BUT SOMETIMES IT CLICKS LIKE LATCH BUT COMES UNDONE WHEN YOU YANK ON IT. I HAVE VIDEOS OF THIS CONCURRING AND HAVE REPORTED TO CHRYSLER WHO STATES THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM.*DT *TR*DT *TR

AN ACCIDENT TO FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR INVOLVED WHEN A PERSON TURNED LEFT IN FRONT OF US. SEVERE DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. PASSENGER SUFFERED EIGHT FRACTURED BONES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. FRACTURED STERNUM, FOUR FRACTURED RIBS AND THREE FRACTURED BONES IN LEFT FOOT. VEHICLE IN MOTION GOING THROUGH INTERSECTION AT ABOUT 35 MPH. *DT *TR

SEAT BELT LOCKED IN OPEN SO YOU CANNOT LOCK IN SEAT BELT. (MALE PART OF SEAT BELT DOES NOT STAY IN FEMALE BUCKLE). 1ST TIME IT DID NOT STAY CONNECTED, KEEPT TRYING AND THEN I GOT IT TO CONNECT. THE NEXT TIME I WENT TO USE IT IT WILL NOT STAY CONNECTED PERFORMED THE T54 232T54182 SAFETY RECALL ON 12/26/17. NOW IT IS THE MIDDLE ROW OUTSIDE SEAT BUCKLE THAT IS NOT WORKING! THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN NOT WORKING.

I PURCHASED A 2017 PACIFICA AND WAS TOLD AFTER I PURCHASED IT TO BRING IT BACK FOR A SEATBELT RECALL. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT AND WHEN I CALLED TO CONFIRM I WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED BEFORE I PURCHASED IT ?? A WEEK LATER I HAD A VAN FULL OF CHILDREN AND MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE 2ND ROW , MY HUSBAND CAME TO A STOP AND THE BUCKLE BROKE AND MY DAUGHTER FELL FORWARD. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS VAN AND AFTER HEARING RECALL AFTER RECALL WE WANT OUT OF THIS LEASE!! I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE AND PUT IN A FORMAL COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD, " THEIR HANDS ARE TIED "

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V542000 (SEAT BELTS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (AUTONATION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM KATY, 21777 KATY FWY, KATY, TX 77450) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD WHILE BEING DRIVEN 15 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,000.

I TEST DROVE ONE OF THESE VANS AT A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN SACRAMENTO. WHEN I SAT IN THE THIRD ROW MIDDLE SEAT, THE SEATBELT WENT OVER BY NECK RATHER THAN OVER MY CLAVICLE. AS A BOARD-CERTIFIED EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN, I AM WELL AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL RISK TO LIFE THAT THIS POSES, AND IT WAS ONE OF MY REASONS FOR NOT BUYING THE VEHICLE. TO BE CLEAR, I DO NOT OWN THIS VEHICLE NOR WAS I INJURED BY IT. HOWEVER I AM 5'9" TALL AND I THINK ANYONE LESS THAN 6 FEET TALL IS LIKELY TO BE INJURED BY THE SEATBELT SINCE IT WILL NOT FIT THEM CORRECTLY AND THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST IT. OBVIOUSLY THE PERSON STUCK IN THE THIRD ROW MIDDLE SEAT IS LIKELY TO BE A SMALL PERSON. THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN THAT NEEDS TO BE RE-ENGINEERED TO AVOID INJURING CONSUMERS. IN ORDER TO FILL OUT THIS FORM ONLINE, I HAD TO SUBMIT A VIN. I SELECTED A VIN I FOUND ON THE INTERNET THAT MATCHES THE MAKE AND MODEL. I DID NOT ACTUALLY DRIVE THAT VEHICLE. THE ONE I DROVE HAS A VIN THAT IS NOT AVAILABLE TO ME. IT SHOULD NOT MATTER AS THIS IS A STANDARD FEATURE OF THE CAR.
