| Description of the problem | Gen3 seatbelts in my 1998 jeep wrangler do not retract properly. Either they don't retract enough, causing them to be caught in the door (thus fraying the belt), or they retract too much and won't release, preventing me from using the belt. This is an ongoing problem which i have noticed from the day i bought the vehicle. |
