1997 Jeep WRANGLER Seat Belts Front Retractor Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	260146
Internal NHTSA #	735067
Manufacurer	DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION
Brand	JEEP
Model	WRANGLER
Model Year	1997
File date	07/08/26
Component	SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The problem is with both driver's and front passenger's seat belts. They do not retract properly and therefore become caught in the door latch. This has caused multiple nicks and abrasions in the belt. I had spoken to the dealer about this and they replaced one of the belts while the vehicle was under warrantee. My concern is that the belt will fail in an accident. I have not followed up with the manufacturer or dealer since. I would like you to investigate and, if this is a real danger, encourage the manufacturer to correct. Thank you.*ak
