When moving at a speed of greater than 3mph, the passengers seat seatbelt sensors indicates the passenger is not wearing a seat belt and sings constantly. the system does not register that the seatbelt is engaged.
First the seat belt wouldn't click into place without pressing down the red button. now even if you do that the seat belt light/dings will be on throughout the ride. i see on the internet many others having this issue.
While raining water drains into vehicle from sunroof causing electrical problems. lights constantly flickering, dashboard lights constantly turning on and off, interior water damage, rusting inside components. this incident happens constantly forcing me to keep headlights on high beam at all times while the car is stationary as well as in motion on streets as well as highways. this problem causes unnecessary problems being that while the car is going through this the turning signals, wiper blades, air conditioning turn off and on. even though my car was serviced under warranty for rear seatbelts the belts are constantly jamming keeping my children captive and at some points it will not successfully latch.
Front driver and passenger seat belts can only be buckled if the release button is depressed. seat belt warning light is on.
The door handles have completely disentegrated an the windows no longer operate. the seat belts work intermittently and the door locks unlock an lock at random. the engine starts an stops on it's own. this vehicle was my dream vehicle but now i feel totally endangered by the lack of care and design by jeep. i feel it is a ticking time bomb ready to cause danger at some point to me or my family
Vehicle was sold with no lights in back, including break and reverse lights, broken seat belts in back seats and one back seat that does not fold down which blocks rear view, and finally with bald tires that needed to be replaced immediately. the lights were supposedly fixed by the dealership's repair shop but after only a few weeks the lights were not working. the seat belts were supposed to be replaced and we were told that replacements were ordered but the dealership never called back to confirm that they arrived and ready for installation, they still have not been replaced. we were told that the tires and seat folding down were not safety issues and had to replace the tires ourselves. the seat still does not fold down and the lights on the back of the vehicle still don't stay on.
Passenger side seatbelt is shorter than driver side. passenger seatbelt is always tight on the average size person.
The 2nd row seat belt buckle moves up so there for the seat belt wont latch enless you move plastic covering down also the jeep shifts hard when put in reverse or drive

Rear seatbelt latches are breaking, and susceptible to breakage. the orange release button on the seatbelts break easily. my concern is that it will happen when there's an emergency and the occupant may not be able to exit the vehicle due to the defective material in the latch release, possibly trapping the occupant. i suspect that the material used for these plastic release latches was incorrectly specified, and became brittle over time.
Seat belt warning chime continually sounds when front driver or passenger seat belts are latched, the seats are occupied, and the vehicle is in motion.
