THE PROBLEM IS WITH BOTH DRIVER'S AND FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT BELTS. THEY DO NOT RETRACT PROPERLY AND THEREFORE BECOME CAUGHT IN THE DOOR LATCH. THIS HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE NICKS AND ABRASIONS IN THE BELT. I HAD SPOKEN TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS AND THEY REPLACED ONE OF THE BELTS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTEE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE BELT WILL FAIL IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOT FOLLOWED UP WITH THE MANUFACTURER OR DEALER SINCE. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO INVESTIGATE AND, IF THIS IS A REAL DANGER, ENCOURAGE THE MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT. THANK YOU.*AK

ON 10/09/00, WHILE STARTING MY VEHICLE I HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED AT THE SERVICE STATION THAT HAS WORKED ON MY VEHICLE IN THE PAST. AT THAT TIME I WAS ADVISED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ON MY JEEP WAS MISSING SOME BOLTS. THE MECHANIC ADVISED ME TO CONTACT A JEEP DEALERSHIP BECAUSE HE HAD READ THAT THE BOLTS ON THE JEEP'S EXHAUST MANIFOLD BREAK. I THEN CALLED A LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND ADVISED THEM OF THE PROBLEM. THEY ASKED ME HOW MANY MILES MY JEEP HAD ON IT AND WHEN I TOLD HIM 83,000 MILES, HE TOLD ME THAT THEY ONLY COVER UNTIL 80,000 MILES. IF JEEP/CHRYSLER KNOW THIS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR JEEPS, SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE FOR THE CONSUMER.*AK
