Driver seat belt unlatches from time to time. I could be just sitting at light, or driving down road and it just unlatches. I put it back on, and sometimes if immediately unlatches again for no reason. I have had to keep doing it 5 or more times within 10-20 minutes. I drive 15 minutes to work and it has been happening at least once if not more every day.
Drivers side seat belt becomes unbuckled without warning. Required replacement of seat belt receptacle assembly. This exact same problem also occurred on my sons 2005 Jeep Liberty.
My 2005 Jeep Liberty driver side seat belt randomly unlatches, sometimes up to 3 times in 20 minutes as of this week. The problem began one week in July 2014 out of nowhere. I called Chrysler at 1-888-992-1997, spoke with a woman named [xxx], gave her my VIN number, and asked if they would replace the seatbelt given the 2002 recall of Jeep Liberty seat belts due to the same problem. She said they would not. She advised me to fix it on my own, and to save my receipts in case one day Jeep does to decide to recall my years seat belts. I use my Jeep Liberty 2005 to drive my two children under three. Their car seats rely on the Jeep Liberty 2005 seat belt as well.

Seat belt complaint after arriving for an appointment, I was unable to exit my 2005 Jeep Liberty renegade because the driver's seat belt latch would not release. It took several minutes to get it to do so. Later, when we were shopping, my husband could not get the latch to engage as we attempted to leave. The red push portion of the release latch would not function. The red push portion of the latch was depressed, and it would not disengage for several minutes. We were stuck in the parking lot while we struggled with this issue. Either way, this is a dangerous issue. In an emergency, will I become trapped and unable to escape" to be safe, we must be restrained, but it appears this seat belt is not doing its job. My husband took our 2005 Jeep Liberty renegade to the dealership, and they merely told him these things wear out. Really" my 19-year-old Honda's seat belts are still just fine! things like this should never "wear out" on a vehicle. Huge safety issue! to make matters worse, the part will take at least 10 days to arrive, and we will be charged to replace it. This seems very wrong!
Vehicle was involved in a crash with a light pole and small tree. Driver was forced to the right side of the road to avoid a head on crash with another vehicle. Two of the front bumper sensors were hit, but the air bags failed to deploy. The drive hit the steering column that had broken off with her sternum, and the passenger hit the windshield. There was a question involving the seat belts not holding either of the individuals in place. The 2005 Jeep had several recalls, and many shop bulletins of part failures on file though this one was checked by the dealer and certified as ok...updated 09-18-13 updated

I've had multiple window regulator failures (leaving my car open to theft and damage), seat belt broken, and air condition compressor, and rear axel problems. All issues happened shortly after the warranty expired.
We have a 2005 Jeep Liberty that spontaneously releases the driver side seat belt while driving. It "clicks" into place (fine) and holds tight when you pull on it, but will intermittently unlatch without touching it. It does not exhibit any consistent pattern as to its defective behavior when releasing. Just driving under normal circumstances without any pressure on the belt will allow it to come undone.
The contact owns a 2005 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that when starting the engine, there was an unusual squealing noise coming from under the hood. Upon further inspection, the contact found that the serpentine belt tensioner had failed. In addition, the contact stated the vehicle was experiencing emission failures due to unknown wires rubbing against emissions tank hoses. The dealer advised the contact that the repairs to the vehicle would be his responsibility. The contact was able to repair the emissions failures himself. The manufacturer would provide no assistance. The failure mileage was 27,500 and the current mileage was 28,288.
My daughter had an accident while driving to school this morning and although she hit head on and the hood buckled her airbags did not deploy nor did her seat belt restrain her. She did not have any severe injury, didn't hit the stirring wheel or her head but she has minor neck pain at the moment and I am taking her to the hospital as a precaution.
