I have a right hand drive 2004 Jeep Wrangler. The right seat belt latch is always sticking causing my seat belt to come loose. The steering wheel starts shaking violently when reaching speeds above 50 mph, if you hit a bump, or if it's windy or an 18 wheeler passes you on highway, the Jeep will rock side to side like it's going to turn over. It's very hard to control the vehicle. I have children to haul around.

Seats belts are not retracting and the belts are being shut into the door on both the driver and passenger side of the Jeep. The safety belts are no longer going to provide the safety for the riders due to the belt being severed by the door and hinge. Retractors need replaced in the Jeep.
