1998 Jeep Cherokee seat belts complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Seat belts are not working properly, left/ right and rear passengers' seat belts do not work properly. Ccs will tilt over because the belts won't retract correctly. This is dangerous because the seat doesn't stay in place.
No specific problem.... Just a general complaint that has been echoed by every mom I've talked to. 1.in my jeep, we had to get a different seat belt in order to make the car seat work. 2.here's a cry for simpler more universal designs. We have two different cars and it took us 6 hours to refit both cars to make the car seat work the first time. Then, when grandma showed up in her car, we had to do it all over again. It should not take an hour to install a car seat for the first time and then you only hope you've got it right. Of course, you are doing this while holding a child and a diaper bag etc. 3.need more places that we can take our cars to see if the seat is in right. Can we just drive over to the highway patrol office at any time to do this? Why not? 4. These things shouldn't be this hard!... P>s> both my husband and I have college degrees and he's is in engineering.
When taking a right turn the seatbelt holding our 6 month old infant in his rear facing car seat unhooked and the entire car seat (including base)tipped over. He is in the center of the back seat. He was not injured, only startled.
Brakes don't work quickly enough, seatbelt sticks.
Consumer's husband lost control of the jeep that rounded over into a tree, the seats belt did not hold him in, nor did side air bags deploy.
There is a travel stop button on the seatbelt that keeps the belt from returning too far into the retraction/locking system. This button keeps the belt from being able to be adjusted to fit a small child by about 4 inches. Both my children are approximately 40 lbs.. The seatbelt at its smallest allowable adjustment is too big. This problem prevents the seatbelt from being worm as per guidlines and is in my opinion a severe safety shortcoming. Anyone having children out of child seat age has children susceptible to injuries involving even quick stops.
