| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | I have not purchased the vehicle. The 2005 jeep grand cherolee has significantly shortened the front seat belts, to the point where a larger individual would be totally unable to buckle the belt, even with the seat all the way back. I do not have this problem with my 1999 grand cherokee, or any other vehicle i have ever owned or rented. The significantly shorter seat belt will cause people not to buckle up, and is a safety hazard for any driver.*ak |
