: the contact stated the driver and passenger side seat belt latches failed to release unless the belt was pulled down to allow slack. The dealership has not been alerted. Updated 7/3/2006 - the consumer indicated that the release buttons have always been difficult to release but now they seem to be getting harder to push.

Grand Cherokee 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 74,500 miles
On my 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the driver's side seat belt has unlatched while I have been driving over 25 times. This is on smooth, straight roads. I believe this poses a serious risk to life and would like Jeep to recall and repair the belts.
