    Seat belt is locked but light comes on as if it was not on. I have to undo, and reapply for light to go off. Radio will not work at times. Radio repair guy said i needed a new amplifier. One day it just starts playing, but when i stopped to get gas, the car would not start. After battery was replaced, the cargo lamp stays on if i open my rear hatch. Will only go off if i closed it twice.

There are 7 seat belts in my 2005 dodge durango. Three of them broken in this fashion. I contacted dodge who refused to assist me in having the vehicle repaired. *tr

    The seatbelt buckles in the 2nd row seats have broken. The plastic part on the buckles that makes the belt stay tight for a car seat has cracked on one and totally broken off on the other. I do not feel safe putting my child in the seat due to the belt not tightening. The dealer assured me that the belt is still safe for a child that is not in a carseat, but i do not feel it is safe. I have not gotten it fixed yet…
