NO EVENT CAUSED THIS FAILURE . CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ACCIDENT OR MISUSED EVER. THE DRIVERS SEAT BROKE FREE FROM THE SLIDERS. METAL ACTUALLY RIPPED AROUND BOLTS. CAUSED SEAT TO FALL BACKWARD AS I WAS DRIVING. CURRENTLY HAVE SEAT CLAMPED TO SEAT BRACKET AS I LOOK FOR NEW ONES. JEEP SWEARS ITS NOT A BIG PROBLEM AS IT MADE MILLIONS OF GRAND CHEROKEES. SEATS CAN'T BE FOUND IN JUNK YARDS AND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE. I WONDER HOW MANY HAVE BEEN INJURED OR DIED BECAUSE OF ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY SEAT FAILURE. GUESS ITS HARD TO TELL AS I AM SURE FAILURE OF SEAT BLAMED ON ACCIDENT MOST OF TIME. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 4X4. ABOUT A YEAR OR MORE AGO, MY FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT BEGAN TO "WOBBLE"... IT WAS ONLY A VERY MINUSCULE AMOUNT AT FIRST, BUT HAS GRADUALLY INCREASED IN SEVERITY AND IS NOW A COMPLETELY BROKEN SEAT. THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT CAN COMPLETELY BE LIFTED UP ON ITS SIDE AND IS FULLY DETACHABLE. THE BRACKETS AND SEAT MOUNT UNDER THE SEAT HAVE BROKEN COMPLETELY AND THE METAL IS SNAPPED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AS THE DRIVER SEAT MAY COMPLETELY DETACH SPORADICALLY DURING OPERATION. VISITING A BODY SHOP AT THE BEGINNING OF 2010 I WAS TOLD THAT REPLACING THE SEAT WOULD COST AT LEAST $500.00 AND THAT THE MOST COST EFFICIENT METHOD WOULD BE TO CONSIDER A REPLACEMENT SEAT FROM THE JUNK YARD. AS I BEGAN SEARCHING AROUND FOR SEATS, I BEGAN TO NOTICE A VERY STRANGE PATTERN: ALL THE JEEP'S WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL FROM ABOUT 1999 TO AT LEAST 2003 OR 2004 HAD THEIR FRONT SEATS ALREADY MISSING WITHIN A MATTER OF DAYS UPON THEIR INITIAL ARRIVAL TO THE JUNK YARD. IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A DRIVER'S SEAT THAT WOULD FIT MY MAKE AND MODEL BECAUSE OTHERS AROUND THE COUNTRY WERE. CONFRONTED WITH THIS IRONY, I BEGAN TO SEARCH ONLINE FOR REMEDIES TO MY ISSUE AND TO SEE IF OTHER CONSUMERS HAD FACED SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR JEEPS. I WAS ASTONISHED AND DEEPLY DISTURBED TO FIND THEIR WAS A WEB PAGE FILLED WITH COMMENTS FROM OTHER CONSUMERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND IN SOME CASES, THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAD DETACHED DURING VEHICULAR OPERATION (FOR EXAMPLE, WHILE MAKING RIGHT TURNS). THESE COMMENTS DATED BACK TO 2007 AND MAJORITY OF THEM, IF NOT ALL, DEALT WITH JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDOS FROM THE YEAR 2000. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND THERE IS A PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF THIS SEAT DEFECT. THE NUMBER OF CASES IS TOO LARGE TO BE IRONY. PLEASE ADVOCATE FOR A RECALL ON BEHALF OF CONSUMERS WHO ARE FACING THIS.

SEAT BRACKETS UNDER DRIVER SEAT HAVE BROKEN, WHICH CAUSES SEAT TO MOVE WHEN GOING AROUND BENDS, GETTING IN AND OUT OF SEAT. THE WAY THE BRACKET HAS BROKEN, THE SEAT CAN PHYSICALLY BE LIFTED UP OFF THE FLOOR. WE REMOVED THE SEAT, THERE IS ONLY 1 OF THE 4 BRACKETS NOT BROKEN, SO IF THE LAST ONE WOULD BREAK THE SEAT COULD TIP OVER OR FALL BACKWARDS OR FORWARDS. IF YOU WOULD GO AROUND A BEND, YOU WOULD EITHER HIT UP AGAINST THE DOOR OR AGAINST THE CONSOLE DEPENDING ON WHICH DIRECTION YOU TURN. IF YOU WOULD HAVE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES THE SEAT WOULD FLY FORWARD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. WE HAVE FIXED THE SEAT ONCE BY REWELDING THE BRACKETS, AND THEY BROKE AGAIN, SO WE NOW HAVE COMPLETELY REPLACED THE SEAT WITH A SEAT FROM A DIFFERENT JEEP. AFTER THE INITIAL REPAIR, IT TOOK ABOUT A YEAR FOR IT TO BREAK AGAIN. *TR
