(relating to the driver-side seat only) my daughter and I was waiting at a traffic stop, (I was driving) when the light turn green I pressed on the accelerator and my entire seat including myself swung back. Because of the backward momentum, it causes me to abruptly press further on the accelerator. I was able to regain control of the vehicle and pull on the side to inspect the seat. I found that the two front brackets under the seat had broken off. Since I had adjustable power seat, I lower the seat to align the broken brackets to wedge under the bar causing the seat to stabilize or at least hold in a semi-solid position. I called Chrysler and they said they could not do anything about it since the vehicle was out of warranty. I argued that this is an unusual incident where I have never heard that the driver-side seat brackets would break off and possibly cause an accident. Especially for a Jeep, this vehicle is meant to be driven on and off road. Again, they said that there was nothing that they could do. This is a design flaw and should be address before someone gets seriously injured.

I own a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a drivers side power seat. It has approximately 105,000 miles on it. The front right seat bracket broke on 10/20/2010 causing the seat to rock while driving, accelerating or braking. The left side bracket is now also cracked but not broken all the way across yet. This is a very dangerous situation as it may both lead to an accident and cause additional injuries to the driver. I am now trying to find used parts for the replacement and have learned from one local used auto parts dealer (631-654-5172) that he didn't have any because this was a :"hot" item. My research on the internet has also found it to be a very common problem with Grand Cherokees. The seats are breaking with normal use. I have decided to complain to the NHTSA and my us senator in the interest of protecting others from a serious safety problem involving a large number of vehicles. . Read more...
