I bought this 1995 Dodge Dakota brand new in 1995 and it only has original 92,110 miles on it. The problem with this Dakota I have replaced the Drivers front seat belt and the replacement again is falling apart again where it will not release for a person to get out of. I don't know if the air bags will not deploy if the seat belt is not working properly. Again the seat belt needs to be replaced again as it physically is falling apart again.
My daughter's seat belt would not unlatch. She could not get out of the car. She had to leave and drive back home, where her dad was able to get her out with a screw drive. Our mechanic said Dodge no longer carries these seat belts.
My daughter, who was the driver, was unable to unlatch her seat belt. Her boyfriend had to force it apart in order for her to be able to exit the car. Now it is broken...she was at a standstill at her boyfriend's house.
The contact owns a 1995 Dodge Dakota sport. The contact stated that on two separate occasions, the front driver and passenger side seat belts failed to release after the release button was depressed. The release button also detached from its housing. The vehicle was not taken to the repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. Updated 02/15/12 updated 03/05/12

The vehicle was being parked and when it had come time to get out of the vehicle, the seat belt would not unlatch. The seat belt eventually had to be cut off in order to get the passenger out of the vehicle.
