Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The seat belt, on the front passenger side, will not retract. The plastic above where it retracts is cracked and pressing down on the belt. I discovered this when getting in to my car and trying to put on the seat belt. I noticed the drivers side seat belt also has a crack above it. I realized this was a common issue on grand cherokees in 2014s when looking at online forums for a solution.”

NHTSA complaint #11404051, filed 2021-03, 70,000 miles

“Driver seat belt is not retracting and it appears the plastic guide in the a-pillar is creaked. I am concerned the integrity of the seat belt restraint system is compromised due to faulty plastic tension guide. I noticed the crack after exiting the Jeep as the seat belt would not retract.”

NHTSA complaint #11414399, filed 2021-04, 80,000 miles

“I have 60k miles on my Jeep, and no dealership will replace the plastic top loop part on the seat belt. Both are cracked which causes my seat belt to not retract. The dealership and the maintenance both agree they have never seen anything like it. They stated I'm not covered by warranty and won't replace it. Both front ones went out. Jeep just lost a customer.”

NHTSA complaint #11073598, filed 2018-02, 60,000 miles

“Same as many many others. Front seat belts are failing to retract due to a cracked guide from the shoulder to body of car bend. Took to dealership with a factory warranty remaining on my 2014 jgc limited and was told its not covered..I put 6k miles on it since my vehicle purchase. Current odo 64,441. My daughter cant safely drive my vehicle since the seatbelt is currently a dress with all the extra slack.”

NHTSA complaint #11355010, filed 2020-09, 64,441 miles

“My driver's side seatbelt will not come out in order for me to strap it on. It's locked up and will only pull a short way out of the mechanism. The vehicle had been parked at work and would not allow me to put the seatbelt on. I tried different things to see if it would work- started the car and put in gear; turned car off and got out and back in; even tried pulling on it without sitting in the seat - nothing worked”
