Patriot

  • 32,000 miles
I bought my Jeep to be a safe family vehicle and instead I worry every time I get behind the wheel because I buckle my seat. I have been in a head on collision before in a Jeep Wrangler and was fortunate to be okay, now this vehicle's seatbelt unbuckles itself during driving, and when pressure is being applied. I know that it is not "user error" because it happens to every person who has driven my Patriot. How am I supposed to feel safe with my infants in the car when I can't even feel safe with just me in it?!
