1996 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER — Complaint #260695

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about CHILD SEAT:HARNESS BUCKLE:INFANT filed December 13, 2000

NHTSA complaint #260695 (ODI reference 737085) concerns a 1996 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER and was filed on December 13, 2000. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 1, 2000. The report was geocoded to Illinois based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as child seat:harness buckle:infant, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same PLYMOUTH VOYAGER cohort independently describe similar child seat:harness buckle:infant failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 1996 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
