Mid/rear Seats Assembly Problems of Jeep Grand Cherokee - part 2

My driver seat on my 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo has broken off of the bracket, it is like sitting in a rocking chair, if I lean to far back it will put me in the back seat. I have had it welded back together once before, but that didn't last long.

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?.

My driver's seat on my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee has broke. The metal track underneath has sheared off in several spots and the hinge to recline the seat also has began tearing. The broken metal makes it possible for the seat on my Jeep to slide from side to side and to also slide forward and back. The broken metal on the hinge also digs into my side and I have to cover it with a leather glove to keep it from drawing blood. More importantly though is the fact that the seat moves and is not safe when driving, even if just driving on a city street, because it is not secure and you never know when it is going to give out and shift, causing you to stop paying attention to the road so that you can try to fix the problems with you seat. I really think that this should be repaired as I have seen many people having similar problems. In fact, in order to keep the seat from sliding back into the rear seat, I have installed my own safety features - I have place a cooler in the rear seat and the head of a sledgehammer underneath the seat to support the seat and to keep it from sliding back any further. I find this to work well as far as keeping my seat from moving, however it should not come to this.

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.

I leased a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee from a local dealership in wilmington, DE. I recently experienced a significant problem with the rear seats and their ability, or lack thereof, to accommodate a child's car seat. As my daughter continues to grow we have changed her car seat to the forward facing position and it is currently located in the center of the back seat. As she continues to grow it is becoming difficult to place her in the child car seat located in the center of the back seat. Thus, we attempted, unsuccessfully, to move her car seat from the center position to the right rear seat position. However, due to the shape of the vehicles seat and inability to remove the head rest, we were unable to safely secure her car seat in the right rear seat position. We have since tried to install two other child seats and neither worked. Thereafter, we made arrangements to have someone from christiana hospital who is certified by the NHTSA install the seat and she too was unable to do so as a result of the vehicle's seat design and headrest. We have raised this issue with the dealership and daimler Chrysler but they simply tell us to consult our owner's manual and seatcheck. Org. However, I have read the owner's manual several times and it states that a child's seat can be installed in any of the rear seat positions. . Read more...

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee does not allow toddler car seats to be installed properly in the back seat due to permanent and non adjustable headrests. Received letter from certified NHTSA safety instructor stating this to be true.

Drivers side seat bolts have pulled through the seat frame that holds it to the car. Failure occurred 3 years ago. Cost for new frame and installing was $850. So we keep the back seat folded forward so the front seat, in the 'furtherest back' position, rests against the back seat and we have wire twisted to hold the seat in place as best as possible. We were told since it was out of warranty, chyrsler would not fix it, even though in our mechanic's opinion it is obviously a flaw structure of the seat and not something that should have happened with such low mileage. Vehicle was purchased new and original driver is only driver (fortunately he is long legged) and since the failure it is only driven to and from work (20 miles a day). Current mileage is 68,798.

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.

: the contact stated the rear head rest did not pull down to allow a child seat to be secured in the seat safely. Because of the head rest the child seat was pushed forward. The dealership and manufacturer determined the head rest is designed in that manor and it is a problem in that type of vehicles.

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee does not allow for proper & safe child seat installation!! the back seat head rest tilt forward impeding the ability for car seats to lay flush against seat. Removal of head rest (which was the only option from Jeep) leave 2 large metal bars that children can receive serious injury from in just entering their seats on their own! there is no safe option for child car seat/boosters. This is a serious safety issue that needs to be addressed! this was also not mentioned to us until we brought it to the attention of the Jeep dealership in which their reply was they were aware of the issue and nothing could be done.

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.

Consumer was traveling about 50mph on highway and another vehicle suddenly stopped. In order for to avoid the other vehicle, she went into guardrail. When consumer applied anti-lock brakes vehicle skidded and locked up. Interior rear seat wasn't proberly bolted , seat came out from floor. It was secued. Front airbags didn't deploy. Dealership was aware of problem.

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