3 Seat Broken problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2010

My 1999 Jeep Cherokee has a broken driver's seat pan. I was coming to a red light and I heard a snap sound. I went to investigate and noticed that the metal seat pan is cracked all around the where the bolt holds it in the seat track. Now the seat rocks a little bit, and it's going to be a matter of time before the other corners crack due to the increased stress. I have not yet corrected the failure. But in order to do so, I will need a whole new seat. This is a safety issue because if these break, it will mean nothing is holding the seat in place. I know a lot of people in the Jeep community that have the same problem with the seat pans breaking.

4 Seat Broken problem

Driver side seat broke.

5 Seat Broken problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2008

Driver's seat broke. The metal that the seat is bolted to is too thin. Luckily this happened in a parking lot and not on the highway.

6 Seat Broken problem

Failure Date: 01/15/2008

1999 Jeep Cherokee sport driver seat broke.

7 Seat Broken problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2007

I sat down in the driver's seat and leaned slightly back against the backrest and the seat broke where it attaches to its rails. Upon inspection it was broken at three places on the frame of the chair itself. This could have been a major safety incident if it had happened while I was driving the vehicle. Jeep should issue a safety recall as this is a substandard part.

8 Seat Broken problem

Failure Date: 06/20/2005

The vehicle is a 1999 Jeep Cherokee laredo. The consumer stated the driver seat has broken. This occurred on June 20, 2005. The driver seat wobbles now. This occurred under regular vehicle usage. This is the only problem with the vehicle at this time. The consumer has contacted the dealership and states that they want 800 dollars to replace the seat. The consumer has not replaced the seat at this time.

9 Seat Broken problem

Failure Date: 06/18/2003

I own a 1999 Jeep Cherokee sport and the drivers side seat frame broke. Upon bringing it to an auto body shop the employee told me when he ordered the part the parts store told him that they had a lot of them being ordered for that vehicle. I would like to find out if perhaps this should be a recall issue and if it is how to get reimbursed for the money I paid to have it fixed.

10 Seat Broken problem

Failure Date: 01/19/1999

The driver's seat has broken and has become very wobbly and unstable. I drive the vehicle normal and I am not an obese person. The seat started out just making creaking noises, then it broke in one spot and has since broken in a second spot. After doing some extensive research I have found that there are a lot of people complaining about this, yet there is no recall. Price to fix is between $400-800 at a dealership. If I were to get in an accident with the seat in the condition it is in, I could have worse injuries than if the seat was how it should be. I think that due to the fact of how many people have this problem with the Cherokee/grand Cherokee, there needs to be a recall since it's a safety issue.
