2012 Jeep Compass Seat belts Problems

“I do not feel safe driving my vehicle when the seat belts and air bags may not work in a collision! Currently there are no parts to fix this issue and the recall was initiated in september of 2016--it has been almost a year! What about children riding in the vehicle?!”
