NHTSA Complaint #10758922 — 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

THE MIDDLE REAR SEAT BELT IS LOCKED IN PLACE TO THE POINT IT IS DIGGING INTO MY SEAT. I NOW CAN NOT USE THE SEAT BELT AND CAUSES A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY CHILDREN AND OR PASSENGERS IF THEY ARE NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT. ALSO, THE REAR HEADREST REMOVES BUT THE POLES THAT HOLDS THEM IN STILL STICK OUT OF THE SEAT. THE HEADREST MUST BE REMOVED TO PROPERLY INSTALL MY DAUGHTERS BOOSTER SEAT. THE BOOSTER SEAT DOES NOT SIT FLUSH AGAINST THE SEAT UNLESS THE HEAD REST CUSHION IS REMOVED BUT IT DOES NOT LOOK SAFE ESPECIALLY IN THE EVENT OF A CAR ACCIDENT HAVING THE HEAD REST SUPPORT POLES STICKING OUT OF THE SEAT. SO ALL IN ALL THE REAR SEAT RENDERS ME USELESS WITH ONLY TWO SEAT BELTS AND ONE OF THE TWO WORKING ONES NOT PROPERLY INSTALLING A CAR SEAT BECAISE OF THE HEADREST.
