Issue ID | 1358116 |
Internal NHTSA # | 10956369 |
Manufacurer | Chrysler (FCA US LLC) |
Brand | JEEP |
Model | GRAND CHEROKEE |
Model Year | 2015 |
File date | 26/07/15 |
Component | SEAT BELTS |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The rear passenger seat belt latch is not flexible at an angle below the seat. As a result, the contact was unable to latch the seat belt. Even if the seat belt is forced to latch, the belt stuck in the corner of the buckle unless you adjust to the right angle to tighten the belt. This is totally not safe to any passenger (especially any child). Over time the seat belt also gets wrinkle from stuck in the corner of the buckle and it does not roll back by itself. I saw someone asked the jeep dealer about the problem online but the dealer told the consumer to purchase a seatbelt extension. I do not think it is fair or a safe future to any jeep consumer. I'm hoping jeep can resolve the belt buckle or wrinkle belt issues. |
