Four problems related to seats have been reported for the 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The drivers seat mounting bracket that bolts to floor board is defective and cannot be considered to be safe to all drivers who own this vehicle. I had original bracket brake after only 50,000 and now after 108,000 have had that bracket brake. If bracket brakes so easily then in a wreck the probability of it breaking has to be great and would result in additional injuries. The seat would be movable and would result in loss of control of vehicle.
Drivers seat does not move foward or reverse, switch, electric seat adjuster tested and replace.
Vibratidriver seat does not move foward or reverse, switch electric seat adjuster, replaced switch.
A coil wire for automatic seat failed. Yh.
