ALL FOUR OF THE SEATBELT ASSEMBLY HAVE FAILED, THIS WAS DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED SWIFTLY MY SON RECEIVED VERY MINOR INJURIES BUT THIS INCIDENT PROMPTED US TO HAVE ALL BELTS CHECKED AT THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND ALL OF THE SEAT BELTS WERE DISCOVERED TO BE FAULTY NOT WORKING. THIS IS A 1995 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH ONLY 84,000 MILES. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AS I AM SCARED THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR FAILED SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY'S THAT WILL ONLY BE DISCOVERED NOT TO BE WORKING IN AN EMERGENCY WHEN THEY NEED TO WORK THE MOST, I THINK ALL VEHICLES OF A SIMILAR AGE FITTED WITH THIS BRAND OF SEAT BELT SHOULD BE CHECKED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED THAT A HOLE BE DRILLED NEAR THE CONDENSER SO THE WATER COULD DRIP OUT THEN SEAL THE HOLE UP. THIS SOLUTION DIDN'T WORK AND WITHIN THREE MONTHS THE WATER WAS THERE AGAIN.…
