Safety belt cinching latch plate investigation # PE02082
There are no injuries or fatalities associated with this alleged defect.While conducting this investigation, odi found that the subject cinches meet the load bearing requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard 208, and that many of the reported failures were due to incorrect child safety seat installations. Additionally, the report rate is low (1.60/100k).The information available fails to establish the existence of a defect trend at this time.Further allocation of agency resources to this issue is unwarranted and the preliminary evaluation is being closed.

My headlights are too low. Hard for me to see. Especially when going around a corner, i can't see far enough ahead. Afraid of wrecking. I tried cleaning the outside headlights thinking they may have a film on them, but it didn't help. If their are no reflective markers on the road it is very hard to see the white line.

I own a 1996 dodge neon. I took my car in to have the speed sensor fixed on it due to that is the code that came up on the check engine light. After the sensor was replaced the wiring harness under the hood fried 3 feet of it. The mechanic fixed the three feet of wiring and every thing was in working order. I took my car to moses lake which is approximately 100 miles from my house upon arriving. My neon stopped working. I had to have it towed from moses lake to altons tire shop in air way heights because i could not afford to tow it to dishman dodge on srpauge. I have pulled up the recall information on my car and because my vin was not included in the mass numbers it is not under warranty. I truly feel t hat it should be because the harness is fired due to the same reasons. *tr
