I bought a jeep cherokee new in 1994. I firmly believe in the use of safety belts and have always used them. I have replaced the the locking part of the belt three times since I have owned my jeep. Irealize my vehicle is older but I dont think these buckles should keep failing. I am now looking to replace it again as it has failed again!!!!!! To replace it new is $150 and up. I have talked to several used parts dealers and they told me as fast as they get some in they are sold. I personally don't feel these buckles are safe at all. If they fail under normal use how well will they hold up under the stress of a crash situation?? I will not drive without a safety belt but I don't think I should have to keep spending money to replace a device that is supposed to protect you but keeps failing.
