Owner Complaints (8)
The drivers back seat seatbelt failed. My daughter and I were driving, and I had to stop suddenly, her car seat had been secured with the seatbelt and the seatbelt unlatched and sent her car seat flying through the cab of the truck.
While driving my 2020 Ram Rebel, the driver side seat belt locked up and will no longer retract. I took the vehicle into the Larry H. Miller Chrysler dodge dealership and they attempted to fix it but they were not successful. My truck only has 58,809 miles on it and they stated that it was no longer under warranty and that I would have to pay to replace it (roughly $750). Prior to the seatbelt locking, there were no indications that something was wrong. I believe not having a seatbelt that works properly puts myself or anyone else that would drive my vehicle at great risk if there was an accident.
The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated while operating the vehicle, the front driver’s side seat belt did not properly retract to secure the driver. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 48,000.
The plastic seatbelt bracket over the right shoulder for the middle seat in the second row of the truck constantly breaks. I have had it replaced multiple times and it breaks immediately. This causes the seatbelt to be loose and fall into the crack between the seats. The seatbelt would malfunction and cause significant harm in an accident:
Seatbelt won't retract at all
Just a normal day, parked the truck in the garage and next morning noticed the Passenger side seat belt stopped working randomly and wouldn’t release. It looks like stuck like after how an accident would make it stuck. I see several recalls for 2019-2020 RAM 1500 pickups but all of them are for driver/left side seat belt. My truck seat belt that stopped working is right side/ passenger side.
Seatbelt dose not retract al l the time so it just hangs loose over the shoulder, or driver and passenger
VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OF AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE REAR WINDSHIELD. DEALERSHIP USED 3RD PARTY FOR WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT. UPON GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK, IT WAS LATER FOUND THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT WAS NOT RE-ATTACHED TO BOLT AND THE MIDDLE SEATBELT WAS IMPROPERLY ATTACHED. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE REAR SEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND THE SEAT BELT JUST RETRACTED PULLING THE CONNECTIONS WITH IT WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS
