1998 Dodge Grand Caravan seat belts problems

Tl* the contact owned a 1998 dodge grand caravan. While the contact's wife was driving 45 MPH, another vehicle traveling approximately 70 MPH struck the rear of the contact's vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. The front passenger seat (the contact's seat) separated from the seat track. The contact struck the side door and was thrown into the rear of the vehicle. The seat belt failed to restrain the contact and he was then struck by the seat. The contact sustained injuries to the neck and back.

The female end of the seat belt buckle in the integrated child safety crumbled into several pieces. We are worried that the other seat may have the same defect. Chrysler says that the warranty has expired and won't do anything about it. I would think they would be more concerned, especially sine the problem involves a child seat. ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis***770772
