On december 12, 2010 at or around the hour of 9:30 p.m. Central time I was involved in a one vehicle roll over accident due to poor road conditions in my 2004 jeep grand cherokee. I was the sole individual in the vehicle, and after the accident I found myself in the back seat of the vehicle. I was however buckled in the driver's seat at the start of the accident. I sustained a serious concussion and bruising to my left shoulder and hip from the seat belt, as well as other various injuries. The failure of the seat belt is my concern. The seat belt failed during the accident in some way.

I have a 2004 jeep grand cherokee and recently I had a failure of the seat belt, in that it locked back in the fully retracted position. Following is a description of the events, I came to a red light and put the brakes on and the seat belt tightened up against my chest, I then leaned back to relieve the tension and the belt stayed tight against my chest, so I unbuckled the seat belt and left it retract to relieve the tension and the seat belt would not extend after that, putting me in a position of not having a seat belt for protection. I have since had the seat belt replaced and the total cost for repairs was $153.91. I looked to see if there were any recalls for the seat belts and wasn't able to locate anything on the internet for my particular jeep. I don't know if this failure is grounds for a recall but I wanted to make the federal safety agency aware of the problem in case there are more incidents of this type.

I left a doctor's appointment and turned out of the parking area to find that my brakes were very spongy and it took me about 15 feet to come to a complete stop after only going 8-10 MPH. At the next stop sign my brakes completely failed, I could pump them up but they went straight to the ground afterwards. I drove into a busy street because I could not get them to stop and collided with another car going around 45 MPH. My airbags did not go off nor did my seatbelt lock when I struck the car. At the scene the police officer noted that the breaks pumped up but were very spongy when pushing them down. However, the dealer finds that there is nothing wrong with the breaking system currently. I am going to have a chrysler authorized representative come and inspect the system.
