Car wreck personal injury attorneys who handle product liability claims against car manufacturers know that from 1993 to 2002, Chrysler utilized what is called a GEN 3 seatbelt buckle in approximately 14,000,000 vehicles. The problem with these defective seatbelts is that the release button is raised from the rest of the mechanism, making it vulnerable to depression in a car accident. The slight bump from a body part or flying object within a vehicle can cause the button to become depressed, causing the seat belt to become unlatched.

While some groups have called upon Chrysler to recall these vehicles, it has not done so. If you have been injured in a Chrysler vehicle and the seat belt failed because it became unlatched, you may have a defective GEN 3 product liability lawsuit.
