The 3rd row seatbelts click as if they're latching and do not lock. This allows them to pop out when unexpected and would be dangerous in an accident. This 3row pretty much fits children who may not recognize the problem. I paid to replace mine and within 4 months the new ones I bought from dealer broke. It appears the faulty design of the folding seat is one thing that breaks the seatbelts latches. Several people have this problem and just sell the vehicle to some unsuspecting person. Below I put roughly the date I found it, but had bought the vehicle and it was already broken. I just didn't know it or know to check it.

Air bag indicator light on. Ignition switch problem prior relates power mechanical devices, windows, sunroof, seats which present a safety hazard.. loss of functionality of these systems increases safety and injury risk. Chrysler worked on the ignition switch and after had issues with windows and airbag.

Seatbelts sometimes do not stay buckled in the buckle without force. Seatbelts get stuck on the ones that do buckle when parked or on. Two middle row seatbelts fell completely off. One third row seatbelt does not buckle at all.one 3rd row seatbelt gets stuck on a daily basis in the buckle with the vehicle parked or not parked and the belt always gets stuck in the booster seats we have to completely remove the booster seats everytime we need to rebuckle the seats. The actual buckles fall apart easily.

Two seat belt buckles in the back seat are broken. There should be two red plastic guides that guide the latch plate into the buckle and one guide is missing on both outer seating positions in the back seat. I can send pictures if needed. My daughter has the same vehicle and it has the same problem. I will be reporting hers under her VIN number.

The 3rd row seating buckles in our Jeep Commander began to stick about 6mos after purchase. We noticed the buckle would stick under the 3rd row seating and then the buckle would no longer unlatch at times. The belt would latch into the buckle, but would get stuck inside even while pushing the release button. A couple of weeks after the buckle sticking the buckle would also unlatch at anytime without pressing the release button (while moving and while stationary). During this time the buckle was unstable and we chose to use the passenger side for the majority of car rides, but as we have a large family use of the belt was necessary. At one point the buckle became stuck while my son was restrained by the belt. We had to pry the belt out of the buckle. From this point on the buckle would no longer latch. A few months later we noticed the passenger side buckle would release at any time, (mobile or stationary). The buckle would also stick and would not release at times. It appears the passenger side buckle is now unsafe and having the same issues the driver side buckle caused. The 3rd row seating is attached to the buckles in a way it seems to cause these issues with the buckle. I have found multiple complaints on google forums and complaint sites. The buckles are failing due to faulty manufacturing. The 3rd row seating causes damage to the buckles. Over time these buckles need replaced multiple times. The buckle releases without being released and will cause serious injury or death. The buckle release will stick and could cause serious injury or death in an emergency when passenger would need removed. This issue should be a recall and replaced in all 2007 Jeep Commander 3rd row seats. This issue will cause serious injury or death.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Commander. When latching a booster seat on the third row driver side seat, the latching system failed. The seat belt unlatched while driving. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 116,000.

Third row seat belts are inoperable. They broke when we folded down third row seats.

On 2/11/14 took vehicle into the Chrysler dealership because of the starter motor not working properly and it had turned off while I was driving on several occasions. They had to replace the starter motor and I had to pay for it. After this the air bag light went on and I would think this is a safety issue and I should not had to pay for any of this. But I did. They told me they had to replace a short in the harness part #5143387aa. Also, the said the driver seat belt was causing air bag light to go on. This was a defect. I believe that if these are recalls and safety issues from Chrysler and I had to pay for them I would think that Chrysler should reimburse me for taking care of these problems before something bad really happened. I am always maintaining my vehicle and I am very glad that I have taken care of these problems. I would appreciate a email back and hopefully a refund for paying for something that should have been a recall. I have all of my records and receipts if you need copies. Thank you

The 3rd row seat belt do not retract when the seats are being folded down which causes the seat belts to become jammed and tearing the seats, also when fixed, the seat belt will become locked in place causing a person to become stuck in the seatbelt, a very serious problem in case of an accident, this person would not be able to get out of his/her seat. This is a defect from Jeep and should be fixed at Jeep expense. Jeep customer service told me that they had no previous complaints, but I found out that there are several complaints about the seat belts.

Car stalls when driving down the road. The drnp dash lights all light up at the same time and the car shuts down for a couple seconds, then it resumes. It has happened several times randomly in the past. Today, it stalled 3 times on the highway on my home from work. I had to pull over and restart the car. The check engine light finally came on today. The seatbelts also have broken several times. I've replaced 2 separate seatbelt cases (the outer cover) in the past year. The middle, second row seatbelt is locked up and currently unusable. When I bought the car, the first time I put up the 3rd row seat, the seatbelt was crushed by the seat and broken. And, the back seatbelt is currently broken again (which I have only used the 3rd row seats twice since owning the car), I plan to have them repair it again when I take the car in to get the check engine light checked :(

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Commander. The contact stated the vehicle was parked when she began to adjust the third row seating. While adjusting the seating, one of the seat belt buckles shattered. The vehicle was not taken to have the failure diagnosed or repaired. Approximately one year later, the failure recurred on the second third row seat belt buckle. Again, the vehicle was not taken to have the failure diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 75,000.
