| 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 jeeps. | |||

| Vehicle goes into a violent shake (shimmy, vibe, wobble) when there is any change in roadway condition (bump, lip, hole, uneven roadway). my jeep has not been altered in anyway. i have had the tires rotated and balanced. in addition my seat belt on the drivers side and front passenger belt both catch in the door - they do not retract. this has been an ongoing problem for 5 months. *ak | |||

| 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.*ak | |||

| 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.*ak | |||
