Every time I hit a bump or hole in the road and my shoulder shifts the seat belt makes a clicking sort of rattle at the column. It disappeared for awhile but now its back and it is driving me insane. like someone with a snapple lid just clicking it in your ear (although its a more sharp sound).

Anyone else experienced this or know of fixes? One person on the facebook group said they had it aswell.
Last time I brought it up at service they said they didnt hear it, but I am pretty sure he jsut forgot to look because of my long list of issues.

I had the same issue, it was driving me nuts. Took me a good few weeks to find where the clicking was coming from, it was the seat belt buckle.

My dealer could not replicate the problem but changed the seat beat buckle on my say so. No more clicking, this was over six months ago & still ok.

Easy fix then

Well I think we must have a different problem because mine most definitely comes from the column. by the door

Yes, I have heard that same clicking and have yet to figure out the cause. Mine comes and goes as well.

When you say column by the door, do you mean the B pillar? If so, I wonder if it is the inertia reel clicking, as that is usually located behind the trim on the B pillar?

Mine does it too. I'm beginning to wonder if it's not the pendulum in the tensioner.

 

[halcyon510]

I have the same problem, and I'm pretty sure it's the B pillar for me. If anyone figures this out, please share.

 

[Panzerkampfwagen]

Ditto, halcyon510. A come and go oddity, indeed.

 

[tazzel]

turn music up

 

[Panzerkampfwagen]

It's there. It's an obvious sound that comes and goes. Source??? And not buckle point related, either.

 

[Broadsands]

The Trailhawk Jeep UK loaned me for a week did this too!

 

[elf883]

stop moving your shoulder lolol

 

[Panzerkampfwagen]

Sorry, it happens when sitting and driving perfectly still! Just another annoyance to bring to the attention of my local Jeep dealership(s) of which they will be clueless on the cause. End result? No fix. Live with it.

 

[Panzerkampfwagen]

I like to hear my vehicle when it's in operation many times without HVAC fans or music on. If there is an abnormal sound, I want to be aware of it for a possible solution.

 

[GSO_Kyle]

Does the seatbelt lock (not roll out anymore) when you hear the click? It could be the pretesioner activating.

 

[Newadventurer]

Our Jeep does this occasionally. It's not a big issue for us, though. Maybe because we have always had old cars and they made lots more noises than that.

 

[Panzerkampfwagen]

No lock up. Surmising it may be something very microscopic inside the driver's side column harness assembly with ultra-sensitive motion activation for the quiet, yet obvious, "tick...tick". Recommendations anyone? Get it replaced under warranty or tear it apart to see what makes it work?

 

[GSO_Kyle]

Definitely take it to the dealer. Don't waist your time tearing apart something under warranty.

 

[Panzerkampfwagen]

Yeah, surmised this one for the dealer. Sad part is: They will be too deaf to hear it and find nothing wrong. Same old song and dance, my friends.
