“I was driving home from work. When I got home and parked my car it was immpossible to unlatch the driver's side seatbelt. I was trapped in my own vehicle.

I feared that if in any type of energency like a fire or mudslides, etc., I would have been trapped by the seatbelt.”

“Jeep is consistently jumping into gear when placed in reverse. Most recently, while at a stop light, with my foot on the break it lung forward! (ungood). While driving, periodically gets stuck in a gear. (?). At least twice, the car has refused to turn over upon ignition engagement. Since I have obtained the Jeep, anything that has to do with the stereo gives me intermittent signals/sound, inclusive of the usb connections etc. (not a good experience). The driver's seatbelt for some reason occasionally will not latch. …”

“Driver's seat belt buckle mechanism broke when inserting seat belt while stationary. No accidents or incidents for this vehicle, poor manufacturing. Buckle mechanism does not allow seatbelt to be inserted or locked. Upon informing a Jeep dealer, they will not replace without full charge for buckle and labor. They stated even manufacturing defects are no longer covered after bumper to bumper warranty is expired. …”

“The driver seat belt has been replaced twice, both times for broken clasp which holds the buckle in placed once you click it . Both times occurred prior to starting the car. The right rear passenger seat belt was replaced after the retractor mechanism failed, which left the passenger unable to tighten their seatbelt. This occurred while the vehicle was in motion at highway speed. The rear center seatbelt was installed improperly from the factory, had to be removed and re-installed.”
