What owners report
Three seat belts on my 2015 Dodge Durango R/T are broken and unusable: one in each of the two second-row seats and one in a third-row seat.

I first noticed the problems in early August 2026, at the same time as a failure of the driverâs seat belt. The driverâs belt has since been repaired under a safety recall.

Kind of flickering. We shut the vehicle off because we could smell something hot. I looked under the hood and the
