The driver side front seat track on this vehicle have failed 5 times since 2004. The first track was repaired twice. Finally in 2008 I purchased a brand new track for over $500 at park Jeep in burnsville, mn. That one lasted 3 years and failed and it was repaired once. 6 months ago it final failed again and my driver seat became a rocking chair for the 5th time. I replaced that one with a used one I found and am just waiting for that one to come apart.
Driver's side seat left bracket that attaches to the support to the car broke while driving. This leaves the left side of the seat lower and basically unattached to the car.

Brought up the potential danger and asked if there was a recall for this and was told no.

I plan on contacting the original dealership today to determine repair process.
