I bought this Jeep in March on 2012 , then few months after buying it the drivers seat belt stopped latching unless I depressed it to make it latch then a month or so later the passengers seat belt started doing the same thing. But since then the seat belt chime started going off and the seat belt light on the dash started staying on too. At first you could unbuckle the passengers seat belt and rebuckle and it would stop but now if someone is in the passengers seat it doesn't stop. Now it doesn't matter whether someone is in the passengers seat or not, it will come on with just the driver in the seat and I always buckle up. The chime will keep going off for a long time but it will eventually stop for awhile but the seat belt light will stay on but if I stop at a light and start going again it will start chiming again. It is very annoying and the latches is aggravating to have to depress them to latch them. There should be a recall on these 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokees ,. I've never had a problem with one until now and it doesn't have this problem till your out of warranty, then it has to come out of our pocket. Mine is still not fixed. . . Not happy this is my 3rd Jeep Grand Cherokee to own have been wanting to get a 4th one but it may depend on how this is handled. It seems like it would be a recall on this since I'm not the only one having this problem.

2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee - seat & airbag deployment sensors - check engine light came on, and took vehicle to dealer for inspection. Dealer stated that seat sensor tied to airbag deployment velocity was malfunctioning ($300 to replace). Dealer re-checked next day and found all 4 sensors malfunctioning (when 150# man sits in seat, sensors read 250# man). Now all 4 sensors need to be replaced ($1000) and fasten seatbelt light/bell sound endlessly. Dealer won't replace (out of warranty), neither will Jeep.
