2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Seat Belts

The drivers side seatbelt will not catch or retract. I went to an independent shop who contacted Jeep to order the part. They were told the part is on “extreme backorder” and it could be months before I could get my car repaired. My Jeep is not driveable. Based on the lack of availability of the part I feel this should be classified as a safety recall.

I simply want to report the long delays (months) in having faulty front seat belt assembly replaced. I had to personally research this as local dealers were 'not aware'. 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee owners reporting malfunctioning or delayed front seatbelts as critical safety defect that directly impacts occupant protection, and reporting it will track issues and potentially compel manufacturer into faster action, even though this specific issue is now under a warranty extension rather than a recall. The fact that it's a warranty replacement under an extended warranty/bulletin should not result in long delays given the potentially life-threatening problem contributing to overall vehicle safety.  Are we waiting for a fatality to have the replacement parts become more readily available, given the Warranty Bulletin (D-21-04) was issued way back in 2021? I should hope not. Or is this a case of, it is what it is (with regards to the delay). Currently, customer service is now telling me the required part will be available March 6, 2026 ... three months after my identifying the cracked seat belt assembly problem. I just want to know if this is (acceptable) reasonable for a life safety issue?

Passenger seatbelt does not retract at all. Only 60k miles.

January 2, 2025 - the front passenger seat belt failed to retract. Since we always use the seatbelts when in our vehicle, we have not had anyone sit in that seat since. There were no warning lights, messages or hint of a problem prior to this failure. January 30, 2025 took the vehicle to the local Jeep dealer to have the problem looked at. Per the service order, seat belt was inspected using X90 instructions and it failed. Replacement part ( 1VL06DX9AG) was ordered and I was told it would be 2-4 weeks before the part would be available. February thru early May I would visit the local Jeep dealer, as well as other Jeep dealers I may drive by, to see if the part was available and I was told it was backordered and the waiting list for it was growing. May 28, 2025 - Jeep dealer service rep called me to say that it was still back ordered with no idea on when part would be coming in. Until repaired I remain unable to use the front passenger seat.

The seat belt will not latch properly, it can take up to 10 minutes or longer fasten the driver's side seat belt. Now that I have it locked, I have to crawl in and out of the seat belt. I dare not unlock the seat belt in fear that I will not be able to get it to lock back. Please note, each time I have locked and unlocked the seat belt it has progressively gotten worse to lock the seat belt. I am at the point where I now longer unlock my seat belt, as I states earlier, I fear that I will not be able to lock it back.
