One problem related to rear seat belt buckle has been reported for the 1996 Jeep Cherokee. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My 1996 Jeep Cherokee has the gen3 seat belts. While they have not yet failed, I want Jeep/Dodge to replace them with the gen4 belts. I have three child restraints in the back seat and the likelihood of the belts releasing in a crash is unfortunately very high. As a safe kids certified child passenger safety technician, and a parent, this concerns me greatly and I feel there should be a recall on the gen3 belts. Currently owners must pay out of pocket to have these unsafe belts replaced.
