Consumer Description

DRIVERS SEAT BELT RANDOMLY UNLOCKS WHEN TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED AND ON VARIOUS ROAD SURFACES. I TRAVEL LESS THAN 2 MILES TO WORK AND TOTAL ON AVERAGE ABOUT 20 MILES/WEEK. IT HAS EVEN HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE GOING 65MPH (WAS NOT ADJUSTING MY POSITION OR MOVING IN ANYWAY). I PURCHASED MY 2016 COMPASS 4 MONTHS AGO, AND THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 2 DOZEN TIMES. IT IS ALSO HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. I KNOW THE SEAT BELT IS CLICKED IN PROPERLY BECAUSE THE ALARM & DASHBOARD LIGHT TURN OFF. I HOPE IT IS INVESTIGATED ASAP BEFORE IS CAUSES SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITY. *DT CONSUMER STATED I DON'T HAVE ANY SERVICE RECORDS BECAUSE I HAVEN'T HAD IT SERVICED YET. I PURCHASED IT MID JUNE FROM BERLIN CITY IN PORTLAND WHO PERFORMED A 120 POINT INSPECTION AND SEAT BELTS WERE FOUND TO BE FINE. I WAS TRYING TO FIND OUT IF IT WAS A TREND AND IT WAS SOMETHING THAT JEEP WILL OWN AND TAKE CARE OF FIXING. *JB
