Front Seat Belt Retractor Problems of Jeep Wrangler

2007 Jeep Wrangler problems with engine stalling. Consumer states that in order to restart the vehicle it must be in neutral before turning the ignition switch. Consumer states she would like the vehicle replaced. The seat belt retractor on the drivers side failed within weeks of owning the vehicle, there was a constant rattling noise coming from the pillar area, the drivers door did not close properly. The technician used a mallet or hammer to align the door striker. The consumer had to slam the door in order for it to close properly, even though there was no certainty the door was really closed. There was a possibility that the striker on the door could collapse while the vehicle was in motion causing the door to open. The vehicle also made a rattling noise while accelerating.

The contact owns a 1998 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the driver side seat belt would not retract in colder weather. He would have to manually push the belt back into the retractor to get it to operate correctly. The dealer advised there were no related recalls and the vehicle repairs would be at the contact's expense. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000 and the current mileage was 150,000.

2004 Jeep Wrangler, 16,000 miles on it and the front end shakes violently when hitting a bump or even a small pothole in the road. I have read reports of this same issue happening over and over again with the dealers telling customers that it's "bad driving habits" causing the rotors to warp. Warped rotors can be felt in the brake pedal when appling the brakes, but there is no shaking happening while braking. Why don't manufacturers "do the right thing" and fix the problems. Seat belt retractors not retracting properly or even extending out when trying to fasten them is another problem that I encounter on a frequent basis.

I have a 2004 Jeep Wrangler and there are several problems but the worst is that neither front belts will retract fast enough to prevent either door from slamming on the shoulder portion. I fear that after repeated door closing on the belts will weaken them to the point of breaking during an impact. The secondary problem is the front windshield is cracking in 2 places.

The passenger side retractor failed when applied. Consumer placed the seat belt inside the retractor and it failed to stay secure.

Seat belt failure due to retractor defect. The retractor does not return the belts which allows them to catch in the door latch and fray and rip. When submitted to damlier Chrysler the reply was that they did not have enough information to properly diagnose.

Failure of seat belt retractors . Seat belt catches on door latch causing damage to seat belt. Dealer replaced drivers side. Problem appeared again on both seats. Returned to dealer and was told they could not help. The web of the seat belts have holes in them from being pinched in door. When will they fail?.

Passenger seat belt fails to retract, also gets caught in door jam. . Exhaust manifold cracked. Water leaks inside onto passenger floor board. Gauges fail/airbag light comes on. Catylist converter failed. Throtle postioning sensor failed. These incidents have appeared over the past 6-12 months.

Seat belt on drivers side does not retract due to detioration of plastic sleave in retraction holder.

Gen3 seatbelts in my 1998 Jeep Wrangler do not retract properly. Either they don't retract enough, causing them to be caught in the door (thus fraying the belt), or they retract too much and won't release, preventing me from using the belt. This is an ongoing problem which I have noticed from the day I bought the vehicle.

Passenger's seatbelt will not pull out.

1. The transmission has started jumping in and out of 3rd gear in the 32 to 50 mph range. Bubbles are present in the fluid indicating a seal is failing. Repair estimate at this time is over $1000. This failure in snowy driving conditions causes vehicle control problems. 2. Passenger seat belt retracts intermittently. The passenger will lean forward and back may not notice the seatbelt has not retracted. This can certainly cause serious injury or death in the event of an accident. 3. Sudden acceleration at idle. Vehicle idle will jump from 1. 5k to 3k without warning. Obviously a serious safety hazard. 4. Anti-sway bar link failure. This is perhaps the most insidious failure. The stabilizer bar link ball will corrode in the socket and cause it to separate. The rubber boot around it covers the failure. When an emergency turn is required, the Jeep will sway violently. I talked to the Chrysler parts attendant and he said he sells about 12 a week to those lucky enough to notice the failure. For those who do not notice this, it is a time bomb. The parts attendant told me I would be back soon to replace more. What he said is true.

Seat belts on both sides fail to retract properly and continually get caught in the door lock mechanism, thus compromising the seat belt material's integrity.

Rear seatbelts wearing through from rubbing through exit from retractor housing. This appears to be caused by flapping of the belt when the top is removed and vehicle is moving.

The seat belt won't retract therefore the belt gets caught in the door latch. The belt becomes frayed as a result of the damage. This is the second failure. After 4 visits to the dealer, the part was replaced on 9/9/1998 at 46,889 mi.

Seat belts in the front to not retract fully most times. This causes the seat belt to get caught between the door and the latch, thus visibly weakening the seat belt. Concern is that this weakened seat belt will not be as effective in preventing my gorgeous body from flying through the windshield.

The seat belts will not retract when taken off and they get caught in the door, the consumer is concerned that they will not hold in an accident failed. Nlm.

The problem is with both driver's and front passenger's seat belts. They do not retract properly and therefore become caught in the door latch. This has caused multiple nicks and abrasions in the belt. I had spoken to the dealer about this and they replaced one of the belts while the vehicle was under warrantee. My concern is that the belt will fail in an accident. I have not followed up with the manufacturer or dealer since. I would like you to investigate and, if this is a real danger, encourage the manufacturer to correct. Thank you.
