Front Seat Recliner Problems of Jeep Grand Cherokee

The driver's seat of my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee has broken for unknown reasons and , without homemade, patchwork bracing, flops back like a recliner. We have attempted to get this repaired both through our local dealer and through Chrysler corporation and they claim that they cannot secure the part; we were first told by the dealer we had to prepay for the part, did so, and then they reported back weeks later that they couldn't find the part. Unfortunately, our financial situation does not allow us to simply park the vehicle and make due. This is truly an accident waiting to happen and we would appreciate any assistance and support you can offer.

Head restraint on my new Jeep Grand Cherokee limited (2005) tilts forward a few inches (compared with my previous 2002 laredo). There is no adjustment to pull the head restraint back, only an up and down option. The head restraint is pushing my head forward instead of it being straight with my body as I drive the vehicle. This turtles the head and causes headaches. The manufacturer and Jeep dealer have not provided a remedy or refund thus far.

One of the steel brackets connecting the driver's seat in my 2000 Grand Cherokee broke away from the floor, leaving the seat (and me) to sway side to side and back and forth. I weigh 200 lbs. The car has never been in an accident. So, neither an accident or excesssive driver's weight contributed to this problem. I would guess that, if I were in an accident, the seat would probably break free from the floor. This is a highly dangerous problem that could be life threatening and should be investigated.
