    1st issue is the seat belt buckles are almost impossible to disengage. They hang up so bad our 10 yr old grand daughter needs help to remove the belt. The belt for the driver has same issue to where it is even difficult for an adult to get it to unlatch. 2nd issue is the transmission slips when shifting from 2nd to 3rd when cold. When it has been driven for a few miles it shifts normal. This appears to be a problem…

    Air Bags · Seat Belts

    Many times it is almost impossible to unlatch either the passenger or driver seat belt without much tugging and pulling. In an emergency situation, this could be catastrophic. My dealer has no recommendation. When i turn my steering wheel, usually to the right, the air bag notification signal will come on, indicating the air bag is not inflated properly. This seems to me to be a safety issue, but the dealer says…

    Seat Belts

    Although we have not been involved in an accident ourselves, i have a 1999 jeep grand cherokee and would like the seat belts replaced due to the number of fatalities and injuries related to the generation 3 unlatching problems. I have only one child, a 4 year old daughter, and would be devastated if anything happened to her that could have been prevented. We spent $20,000 on this vehicle and expect it to protect our…
