While driving an extremely short distance from my home driveway (maybe 50 feet), my "driver side" seatbelt pretensioner and airbag deployed. There is already a recall for airbag/seatbelt pretensioner on my vehicle (m35 (12v‑527) or n13 (13v‑040) r06). When I brought my vehicle into suncoast chrysler dodge jeep ram, they to told me the recall was for only the "passenger side" and "driver side" was not part of the recall. They said they could not find any reason why the "driver side" airbag and seatbelt pretensioner deployed. They said the cost to replace my airbag and seatbelt pretensioner would be just under $1500.

I was sitting in line at the pharmacy my 12 year old son was sitting in the rear drivers side seat with seat belt on the seat belt began tightening as he changed position and each time he breathed it tightened around his chest he couldn't breathe and rushed him to the fire station 1 block away where they cut the seat belt, other than being able not to breathe there was no other injury thanks to my quick action. We tried to release the seat belt and it would not release. The front drivers side seat belt sticks and sometimes you get stuck and have to release it with a small stick like object.

I have received three notices regarding recall on the orc module for jeep liberty 2002 and 2003. Each time notice had been received I attempted to schedule service appointment to have this issue rectified. Each time was told there was a back log because of number of recalls and couldn't give me when this part could be replaced. Needless to say im receiving another notice stating the seriousness of this matter but no indication when part will be available. I drive everyday and my safety is at risk as and it is now over a year with no resolve.

I was driving 60 MPH down sh 75 when the air bag light came on. A few seconds later the air bag deployed. It hit me in the chest and startled me. I had burns on my arms and it ripped a fingernail back. I thought I broke my thumb, the impact was so hard. Thankfully, I was able to keep my jeep on the road. The driver side air bag is the only one that deployed and now the seat belt does not work properly either.
The occupant restraint control (orc) module has a chance of experiencing an electrical overstress condition. Part has not been shipped to my dealer as of 7/29/2013. M35/the federal safety agency 12v‑527 notified close to 6 months ago.

Defective rear seat belts, comming apart on both belts, exact same spot in rear of jeep liberty.
2003 jeep liberty had defective seat belts, both in the rear, coming apart at the exact same spot. The same day that contact had the jeep in the shop another woman had the exact same problem with her dodge SUV. Contacted chysler ,who said they would cover the parts only if I paid the dealer over $100.00 in labor costs, which was unfair since it was a clear defect. The belts were basically unused.
Something was preventing my seat belt from being latched. I looked down to find something that looked like a round metal bead stuck inside. I pried it out with a pen. I was then able to latch the seat belt. Then about a week later while driving my seat belt came unlatched. I relatched it only to have it happen over and over again. I went to the dealer to find out I have to buy an entire new seat belt assembly. You cannot buy just the buckle. After researching this website, I see there is an investigation on 2002 jeep liberty seat belt buckles. My car is 2003, however, the dealer informed me that 2002-2005 are the same part.
Complaint received via e-mail. My wife, son, and I were involved in an accident. We hit an ice patch on I-80 east mile marker 128. We went down a bank and hit a tree head on at aproximatly 50 MPH, and seat belts/air bags did not work. I contacted jeep, and was told that an investigator would go and look at the jeep, and they would get back to me. I then contacted the garage where my vehicle was being repaired, and asked the owner if the inspector had been there. I was informed that he was, and that he did not even know where the air bag sensors were located. A few days later, I recieved a letter informing me that the air bag did fail, and that it should not have gone off, my vehicle had $9000 damage at the front end. I am concerned that the vehicle was not safe for myself and family. I did some research on www.the federal safety agency.dot.gov and found that 9 other 2003, jeep libertys had the same problem.
Rear passenger side and driver side seat belts won't retract back into it's holster because the belts were unraveling. Dealership inspected the seat belts, but could not decide why this was happening because where the belts were unraveling they were not coming in contact with anything. Dealership might be able to cover the belt to correct the issue. If this was not possible the entire seat belt assembly has to be replaced.
Both rear seat belts were shredding after very little use and had to be replaced under warranty. It appears the plastic housing of the seat belt retractor is too sharp and the belt rubs against it when used causing damage.
Rear driver's side seat belt released without touching the buckle.
2 car accidents where another car hydro-planed into front driver side corner of my 2003 jeep liberty. The airbags did not deploy. The vehicle then was forced off the road at a 90 degree angle and we went off the road down a slope about 20-30 feet until we hit an embankment. My seat belt did not hold me and I hit the rear view mirror. I suffered a concussion with 1/2 hour of memory loss and a wound to my head that required staples to close. The car was registered a total loss by the other drivers insurance company... Electric insurance company claim # 2003081105302.
