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.

I would like to know why jeep/chrysler has not done any recalls or fixes involving the powertrain control module (pcm) since it is a known issue with grand cherokees?!!! Instead they want customers to go out and spend approximately $200+ for a new one and even more $$ to have dealer install it. I love my jeep don't get me wrong, but jeep dropped the ball big on this one. Just about as bad as the gas tank issue.
