Seat belts reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

My seat belt is always loose and i have to jam it back in place all the time. I noticed an oil spot on the floor of my garage and it looks like it's the oil cooler housing that is bad. Both of these items are recalled but my vin shows It's not.

I had already had to replace 2 rear seat belts in my wrangler over a year ago. Both seat belts tore completely in half. The cost for the seat belts alone was 500. A year later, I had another seat belt rip in half. One that was already replaced ripped right in half again. I only occasionally have had anyone in the back seat. Possibly once a week. Now, I cannot put anyone, especially children in the back seat of my 4 door, so called 5 passenger jeep because it is not safe. the seat belts fray and rip.

THE LEFT REAR SEAT BELT SHOULDER STRAP BECAME UNATTACHED AS MY 9 YEAR OLD, 50 POUND GRANDSON WAS ATTEMPTING TO STRAP HIMSELF IN. A WEEK LATER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BACK SEAT, THAT SEATBELT WAS DISCOVERED TO HAVE A TEAR MORE THAN HALF WAY ACROSS. I HAVE ONLY THE MIDDLE SEAT THAT IS SAFE FOR MY GRANDSON TO SIT IN. THIS IS ONLY A 3 YEAR OLD JEEP, THE PARTS WITHOUT LABOR IS 500. TO HAVE THE SEAT BELTS REPLACED. IT WILL MOST LIKELY COST ME 1000. TO HAVE TWO SEAT BELTS REPLACED. THESE ARE DEFINITELY FAULTY UNSAFE SEAT BELTS.

SEAT BELTS WERE DAMAGED BY SEAT ADJUSTING ENOUGH AT 20K MILES TO WARRANT REPLACEMENT BY JEEP. NOW, AFTER 1 YEAR, THE PASSENGER BACK SEAT IS FRAYED AT LEAST 1.6 CM INTO THE BELT, CAUSED BY THE SAME THING. EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITH THE DAMAGED SEAT BELT A MONTH AGO, JEEP WILL NOT REPLACE THE DAMAGED BELT.
