I have ongoing problem with seatbelt similar to several I have already seen reported in that the belt appears to lock but is not actually engaged. It then slips out of latch while driving. Has to be inserted at precise angle in order to catch and takes several trials to make this happen.

1) I bought the Jeep Wrangler used 2)the latch sometimes does not engage when I put the lip of the seat belt into the socket of the seat belt. It sticks...im afraid that if I do get in a wreck it will fail and I will be ejected, especially with a Jeep and it having a high rollover risk. 3)im seriously thinking of getting brand new seat belts, not Chrysler brand but after market ones, unless chrylser solves the issue.

All four seat belt release mechanisms get stuck. I have had to assist passengers with releasing the seat belt after they attempted it themselves. To release the belts, there must be sufficient slack in the belt to allow an angle between the tongue and receptacle opposite the angle naturally achieved when in use. This problem was very noticeable but not as bad when the vehicle was new. No one has been injured in my vehicle, but when passengers need assistance removing a safety belt, that is a potential safety issue.

On numerous occasions while connecting the seatbelt the buckle goes into the reciever but does not go in properly. It goes in and feels like it connected but doesn't latch. Driving down the road the belt will release.
