2000 Jeep Wrangler: seat belt won't latch or retract

Filed Nov 2, 2005 · Seat belts · 10,000 miles · VA

All four seat belt release mechanisms get stuck. I have had to assist passengers with releasing the seat belt after they attempted it themselves. To release the belts, there must be sufficient slack in the belt to allow an angle between the tongue and receptacle opposite the angle naturally achieved when in use. This problem was very noticeable but not as bad when the vehicle was new. No one has been injured in my vehicle, but when passengers need assistance removing a safety belt, that is a potential safety issue.

On numerous occasions while connecting the seatbelt the buckle goes into the reciever but does not go in properly. It goes in and feels like it connected but doesn't latch. Driving down the road the belt will release.
