| Description of the problem | The seat belt on the third row right side seat is completely stuck tight against the seat. This has to be a defect because we rarely use the third row seats on my vehicle. Worst part is that i have small children that could have been hurt very badly because of the seat belt. Furthermore, the seat belts on the second row seats are completely falling apart because of the low quality plastics being used by jeep. One seat belt on the second row has become completely useless because it just wont click in anymore. I have 2 other vehicles (2006 ford f150, 2005 ford focus) with which i have no trouble with the seat belts at all. In fact, the seat belts on my two other vehicles look as good as new and my children ride in them just as much as they ride my 2006 jeep commander. I have contacted chrysler and my local dealership to no avail. I notified both about the danger of my 5 and 9 year old children riding in the vehicle but have gotten no positive responses. I am writing to this government agency before i go spend hundreds of dollars to get the seat belts fixed. Please respond back. |
