Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SEAT BELTS:INTEGRATED CHILD SEAT filed March 17, 1997
NHTSA complaint #70312 (ODI reference 808605) concerns a 1997 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER and was filed on March 17, 1997. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 29, 1997. The report was geocoded to Maryland based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as seat belts:integrated child seat, 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 seat belts:integrated child seat 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 1997 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
