After my accident back in april 2000 exiting the express was I was slowing due to a red light, a car from behind rear ended my 1995 chrysler jeep . At the time I had not related the failure of the seat belt control latches to anything. I knew my body had gone forward I didn't think anything of it at the time. Until my, daughter later died from skull damage. I was 5 months into my first pregnancy about two months later the baby died. The sonogram showed skull damage. I still at the time had not but the connection to the seat belt being unsecured latches, I had notice it but really wasn't concern at the time. I later filed a complaint with daimler chrysler concerning the seat belt they gave me a case number however, I never heard from them. Then I came across the case where the lady was suiting over the seat belts, however the attorney did not want to take the case at the time. I was in florida and they were from texas. Nor could I find anyone who would take the case to pursuit the daimler chrysler company at the time. The complaints with the seat belts where not so plentiful as they are now, I still feel to this day (serria) would be alive if the security of the seat belt harness where locking properly, my daughter would be alive today. My back would not have 2 disk out of place, and the need of back surgery.

Seat belt won't latch or retract by model year
What owners say
When I hit the brake my driver seat belt pulled out of the latch. Seat belt will no longer buckle. Latch is broken. I am currently looking into purchasing a new seat belt but am having difficulty finding the part . *ak the seat belt is: date mfg: m494942 model #: 5cr95 pt no. 55314573
The driver's seat belt cannot be inserted into the buckle due to buckle damage.
Consumer was traveling 60-70mph and another vehicle started to fishtail & hit consumer's vehicle in front. Seat belt was locked & holding the passenger in place, but broke loose before impact, causing passenger's head to hit window. Consumer hasn't spoken to the dealer yet.
Seat belt would not stay latched, would come unlatched whenever independent repair shop replaced it with another belt from a used vehicle. It worked for a while and it started to unlatch. Manufacturer contacted. Owner has replaced belt latch. *ak
While consumer was driving she was hit from the middle of her car, and the rear seatbelt which was holding her baby, broke. The truck was totaled.
I would like an independant review of the seatbelt failure. Chrysler insists that a chrysler dealer review the incident, but I am not confidant of an impartial review. I have had the front seat belts replaced under recall twice and had asked for the rear seat belts to be looked at. Chrysler refused. What actions should I take at this point? I am concerned about my other seatbelt and other similar jeep safety issues with my jeep and others. Thank you.
Left front seat belt failure.
