The center back seat seatbelt will not come loose. It is tightened and will not retract. I have to put my six year old on the left passenger side because I cannot seat her in the middle. It's concerning in the event of an accident, my child is susceptible to more injuries since I cannot properly seat her in the middle seat in the back. Also, when it rains, the car leaks into the inside. This has been going on for quite sometime. I don't understand it. I spoke with my cousin who also owns a brand new jeep and even hers does this as well.

I bought this car nov. 2015. (car was stationary) I did not know there was a problem with seat belt until I tried put my grand child in middle back seat and noticed the seat belt was stuck and was not usable. After doing some research, and reading other complaints on same issue, it turns out their is a problem with the seat belt retractor. This is definitely a safety issue as well as a law that all must wear them. When we took the car to dealer the to fix 2 other recall issues they said it would cost at least $500 to fix the seat belt issue and that it might happen again! I strongly feel something should be done about this problem and that it's the company's responsibility to fix this safety issue!

The middle rear seat belt is locked in place to the point it is digging into my seat. I now can not use the seat belt and causes a safety concern for my children and or passengers if they are not wearing a seat belt. Also, the rear headrest removes but the poles that holds them in still stick out of the seat. The headrest must be removed to properly install my daughters booster seat. The booster seat does not sit flush against the seat unless the head rest cushion is removed but it does not look safe especially in the event of a car accident having the head rest support poles sticking out of the seat. So all in all the rear seat renders me useless with only two seat belts and one of the two working ones not properly installing a car seat becaise of the headrest.
