The seatbelts did not lock in the crash and the 2nd row belts do not lock either. I think chrysler should recall these seat belts in at least the 2007 chrysler town and country. We were stationary on a city street in omaha, ne.

3rd row seat belts do not lock in a accident. I was rear ended and had 2 booster seats with grandkids in them. The lap portion locked but the shoulder belts did not lock in the accident. This is very unsafe especially for children. We were on a busy street in omaha, ne when the accident happened.
