I have owned 2 Jeep Grand Cherokees before this 2020 model and never had issues with seatbelts. After just five years, the driver's side seatbelt is not retracting and the passenger side is starting to do the same. I asked Jeep for assistance and I was told this was something I will have to pay for out of pocket. I have seen that many others have complained of the same issue online. I went to a dealer and the seatbelt part is on backorder for almost two weeks. Just ONE seatbelt will cost me almost $600 out of pocket. Jeep is surely playing with fire with this issue. I can't imagine what they will have to deal with if someone is injured due to the seatbelts not working properly, after just 5 years of buying a new car. Shame on them. I wanted to report this because this is a huge issue for me as someone who drives almost an hour to and from the office twice a week at least. Thank you for any assistance or guidance you can give.

My vehicle started flashing my seatbelt light when I was driving and I was buckled and then my airbag light came on and my automatic start and stop light came on and have stayed on. I took it into Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram and they charged me $203 to tell me that I don-??t have any shorts in the seatbelt wire harness and they found a O.L (over limit) indicating that I have a internal open within the seat, buckle itself, causing the codes and the lights on the dash and that it-??ll cost $541.26 to fix and it is not covered under any warranty, even though I just purchased the vehicle eight months ago and I-??m under the 100,000 miles and just approaching the first 5 years. I should be covered. Now my airbags will not work and neither will my auto on and off features. This is a safety concern that should have a recall on it or be covered by Mopar.

My driver and passenger side front seatbelts won't retract properly. Dealer just diagnosed the problem as a weak retractor. This will be the THIRD time the driver side has to be replaced since I bought the vehicle in May of 2020. It will be the SECOND time the passenger side has to be replaced. Jeep replaced both under warranty in Sept of 2021. Driver side was replaced in May of 2023 per Jeep goodwill. This time, I will have to pay for the passenger side but Mopar warranty should cover driver side as it is barely a year old seatbelt. No one i've consulted has ever had to replace their seatbelts even one time, much less three times in four years. This is a definite safety concern if the belts won't tighten up properly during normal driving or a collision situation. Jeep has recalled seat belts on Grand Cherokees up to 2015 but there have been no recent recalls i'm aware of.
