What owners wrote
The passenger side safety belt became jammed while driving. My passenger was trying to release the belt because it became painful. I had to pull the vehicle over and assist my (adult) passenger to try to get the safety belt released. Once we were able to free the belt it would not retract back or latch properly. My passenger moved to the back seat to use the safety belt for the remainder of the drive. This jeep has also completely saturated me with gasoline and shut down a service station.
Seat belt fails to retract rendering it useless. The plastic cover on the loop at the b pillar has cracked and binds on the seat belt strap. The part is not replaceable without replacing the entire assembly. This has affected both front seat belts. The vehicle has not been in any accidents or incidents which have stressed the seat belts.
