Jeep seat belt problems

Owners have filed 1,979 complaints with NHTSA about the seat belts on Jeep vehicles — 2% of everything reported about the brand, across 28 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Jeep Grand Cherokee, worst in 2014.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
