1995 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN — Complaint #443481

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about CHILD SEAT:HARNESS BUCKLE:INFANT filed December 2, 2003

NHTSA complaint #443481 (ODI reference 10049925) concerns a 1995 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN and was filed on December 2, 2003. The report was geocoded to Nebraska 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 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 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 1995 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
