I BOUGHT A JEEP CHEROKEE NEW IN 1994. I FIRMLY BELIEVE IN THE USE OF SAFETY BELTS AND HAVE ALWAYS USED THEM. I HAVE REPLACED THE THE LOCKING PART OF THE BELT THREE TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED MY JEEP. IREALIZE MY VEHICLE IS OLDER BUT I DONT THINK THESE BUCKLES SHOULD KEEP FAILING. I AM NOW LOOKING TO REPLACE IT AGAIN AS IT HAS FAILED AGAIN!!!!!! TO REPLACE IT NEW IS $150 AND UP. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL USED PARTS DEALERS AND THEY TOLD ME AS FAST AS THEY GET SOME IN THEY ARE SOLD. I PERSONALLY DON'T FEEL THESE BUCKLES ARE SAFE AT ALL. IF THEY FAIL UNDER NORMAL USE HOW WELL WILL THEY HOLD UP UNDER THE STRESS OF A CRASH SITUATION?? I WILL NOT DRIVE WITHOUT A SAFETY BELT BUT I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP SPENDING MONEY TO REPLACE A DEVICE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT YOU BUT KEEPS FAILING. *AK
