You probably have mud in the seatbelt reels. I'd pull the seatbelts all the way out and give them a good cleaning. If that doesn't work, There's probably mud in the reel itself, so you'd have to remove the plastic cover (be careful) and clean that out. Let us know what you find!

So I cleaned the reels with the pressure washer today and the belts are still stuck... I could not get them to release to get inside of the retract housing but I sprayed them for a while. Jeep may be replacing them as a " safety defect" I find out tomorrow .... if not then harness bars front and rear and 5 points for every seat.
