Consumer states;, one obviously, is the correct slot. The other slot, however, is incorrect, and the person finds that upon arrival at their destination, they are incorrectly buckled. (this is life threatening)consumer says that her husband never drives this vehicle did not realize that their son was incorrectly buckled, until they reached their destination.

On 10/31/2001, I took my jeep in to my local dealer in response to daimlerchrysler recall notice #978. The work was done satisfactorily; however, the replacement parts that were installed for this recall are not acceptable. The new seatbelt buckle that was installed is significantly inferior to the original equipment. The flap of the buckle is cheap and its poor design causes the fabric belt invariably to "roll" (I.e., to double-up on itself inside the opening in the metal flap) when the seatbelt is removed. This rolling interferes with the proper deployment and retraction of the belt. Worse yet, this rolling will inevitably lead to fraying and weakening of the belt's fabric. I have already noticed the beginnings of the deterioration of the fabric. A frayed seatbelt is a serious safety hazard -- "an accident waiting to happen".
A vibration can be felt in the brake pedal when brakes are applied at any speed. Dealer has yet to be contacted. *ak consumer stated when coming to a stop at highway speed, the steerng wheel vibrates, dealer informed consumer that the front rotors were out of round, driver side seat belt cover snapped off.
While driving at 40 MPH, and upon pressing down on brake, vehicle shaks very hard, rotors appear to be very worn, vehicle has been taken to dealer approximately 5 times already. *ak consumer also stated there is a ticking noise from engine when starting up,steering damper and drag link assembly were loose,transmission shifts hard into reverse, right rear turn signal bulb was replaced, vehicle began to overheat, right side mirror was cracked,speaker was inoperative, the trim on the door panel was loose, exhaust system was loud, parking brake needed to be adjusted, passenger side seat belt was inoperative, passenger wiper blade was not cleaning the window, keyless entry remote was inoperative
No summary listed for above vehicle.
We have had the rotors "shaved" at 12,000 miles, supposedly replaced at 22,000 miles and started having problems again at 31000 miles car vibrates violently, driver seat belt keeps jamming, the differential had to be replaced and the fuel pump had to be replaced
Passenger's restraint retractor malfunctioned, causing occupant to be unrestrained.
Our jeep was hit from behind by a commercial van while we were sitting at a complete stop. The impact went mostly threw the trailer hitch on the back of the jeep. My shoulder harness failed to catch at the point of impact. The lab belt did manage to hold me in place. I had mild back pains soon after the accident. The pain progressively got worse over time. I later found that I developed a herniated disc from the accident. This now is going to require surgery to correct. I'm 22 with no previous back problems. The collision didn't seem too sever. The other vehicals speed is unknown. There were 3 other passengers in the jeep at the time. Their selt belts worked fine. They are all doing okay.
Was at a dead stop and was rearended. Passenger's rear shoulder belt failed to hold occupant, but lap belt held.
Vehicle taken to dealer for recall 00v034000/ seat belt mounting bolt repairs. Later on, consumer learned that recall was done through another dealer/ leon rosser jeep, bessener, al; asking the federal safety agency to share some light on this matter.
Consumer is unhappy with dealers recall repair, excessive time to complete (98v‑276). Yh
Driver is short, therefore seat has to be moved forward, however seat belt can't be latched when drivers seat is in the forward position.
