I just bought a 2002 Dodge Grand caravan. I have noticed the seat belts do not lock when I installed the car seat and pulled the seat belt to lock the car seat in place it will not work which makes the car seat tip and fall every direction. I tried every seat in van to see if the lock and they do not unless the car is started if you pull it down fast it locks but not when it's off and will not stay locked. Speedometer and gas gage quit working.

The passenger’s side rear (back row) seatbelt locking retractor will not retract. The seatbelt is not usable as it remains extended. The vehicle was not in an accident. This puts passengers at risk due to not being able to be properly secured in the seatbelt. The problem has not been looked at by a service center. The product has not been inspected by police or and insurance agent Etc. No warning lamps or messages appeared as a result of the malfunction and I first became aware of this problem about 2 weeks ago.
