ON DECEMBER 12, 2010 AT OR AROUND THE HOUR OF 9:30 P.M. CENTRAL TIME I WAS INVOLVED IN A ONE VEHICLE ROLL OVER ACCIDENT DUE TO POOR ROAD CONDITIONS IN MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I WAS THE SOLE INDIVIDUAL IN THE VEHICLE, AND AFTER THE ACCIDENT I FOUND MYSELF IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS HOWEVER BUCKLED IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AT THE START OF THE ACCIDENT. I SUSTAINED A SERIOUS CONCUSSION AND BRUISING TO MY LEFT SHOULDER AND HIP FROM THE SEAT BELT, AS WELL AS OTHER VARIOUS INJURIES. THE FAILURE OF THE SEAT BELT IS MY CONCERN. THE SEAT BELT FAILED DURING THE ACCIDENT IN SOME WAY. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND RECENTLY I HAD A FAILURE OF THE SEAT BELT, IN THAT IT LOCKED BACK IN THE FULLY RETRACTED POSITION. FOLLOWING IS A DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENTS, I CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND PUT THE BRAKES ON AND THE SEAT BELT TIGHTENED UP AGAINST MY CHEST, I THEN LEANED BACK TO RELIEVE THE TENSION AND THE BELT STAYED TIGHT AGAINST MY CHEST, SO I UNBUCKLED THE SEAT BELT AND LEFT IT RETRACT TO RELIEVE THE TENSION AND THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT EXTEND AFTER THAT, PUTTING ME IN A POSITION OF NOT HAVING A SEAT BELT FOR PROTECTION. I HAVE SINCE HAD THE SEAT BELT REPLACED AND THE TOTAL COST FOR REPAIRS WAS $153.91. I LOOKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS FOR THE SEAT BELTS AND WASN'T ABLE TO LOCATE ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET FOR MY PARTICULAR JEEP. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS FAILURE IS GROUNDS FOR A RECALL BUT I WANTED TO MAKE THE NHTSA AWARE OF THE PROBLEM IN CASE THERE ARE MORE INCIDENTS OF THIS TYPE. *TR

THE RETRACTABLE LOCKING MECHANISM ON BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELTS ARE NO LONGER LOCKING. INFANT CAR SEATS SECURED IN BOTH THE LEFT REAR AND RIGHT REAR SEATS ARE NO LONGER STABILIZED WITH THE SEAT BELTS. *JB

ON APRIL 6, 2005 AT APROX. 6:50 A.M. A CAR HIT MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2004 SPECIAL EDITION IN THE FRONT, REAR LEFT SIDE AND BACK SIDE PART OF THE CAR. THE DRIVER HIT WITH HER CHEST THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DRIVER SEAT BELT DO NOT HOLD HER, SO SHE IMPACT THE STEERING WHEEL. *AK

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE IN A 2003 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND REAR ENDED BY A TOYOTA CELICA TRAVELING ABOUT 40 MPH ACCORDING TO THE POLICE STATEMENT. OUR JEEP THEN HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US (IT WAS A FOUR CAR CHAIN REACTION COLLISION). THE DRIVERS AND FRONT PASSENGER SEATS RECLINED ON IMPACT. HAD OUR GRANDSON BEEN IN HIS CHILD SAFETY SEAT, HIS LEGS WOULD HAVE BEEN CRUSHED, IF NOT WORSE. FURTHER, THE SHOULDER RESTRAINT DID NOT HOLD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, RESULTING IN MY HEAD SMASHING INTO THE DASHBOARD. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.*AK
