The contact owns a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the front driver seat was broken. The nuts and bolts became disconnected from the frame causing the contact to fall into the rear seat while driving at 35 mph.

The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

The seat brackets on my driver's seat of my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo snapped off while I was driving which caused me to fall into my back seat and made me veer into oncoming traffic. I was able to get control and avoid an accident. Contacted Chrysler and they shut me down on repairing it. This is definitely a safety hazard - why isn't there a recall?.

I have a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo and while driving on the highway the drivers seat just snapped causing me to fall in the rear seat. . I lost control and drove off the right side of the road into the woods thankfully not hitting anything nor doing anymore damage to my vehicle. But contacted my local dealer who stated he had heard there was a problem with the seats but there was no recall nor anything he could do to help my with the situation. I had the seat welded back together but now it is starting to break on the other side and I am afraid if it gives will I be as lucky as last time. . Why is there no recall if so many people are having the same problem?.

Noticed slight seat movement during operation. Seat failed while driving (front left bracket area of driver seat. ) temporary fix by folding rear seat to support driver seat from falling back. Bolted front part of seat back together, held fairly. Right rear portion near seat back broke shortly after, unable to repair. Seat rocks from side to side, is leaned to the right, and leans to the rear. Original seat still in use.

Front drivers seat is broken. It's off the track and the bearings are broken, which could cause the driver to flip to the back seats if in an accident, leaving no one in drivers seat at all.

I had owned my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo, which I had bought new from brenner motors in mechanicsburg, PA, for almost 4 years when all of a sudden and without incident of any kind the driver's seat came undone on the one side. I believe this to be due to faulty and/or defective construction. I am the primary driver and am 6'2" and approximately 200 pounds. I brought this matter to the attention of the dealership while the vehiccle was still under warranty but was advised that this defect would not be covered under the warranty. Another Jeep dealer (henry gay in laurel, maryland) told me it would cost approximately $450 to fix including parts and labor. I beleive a defect of this kind endangers not only the driver but any back seat occupants as well.

The contact owns a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving approximately 2 mph, the driver's seat disengaged from the frame and abruptly extended to the back seat. There were no warnings or injuries. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic on three separate occasions for identical failures and the driver's seat was replaced. The contact was concerned of the safety risk involved. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 52,000 and current mileage was 89,000.

While accelerating through an intersection my driver's seat broke free and tilted in to the back seating area.
