Front driver seat mounting bracket/track break complaint: vehicle was stationary and in parked in a parking lot of my work. I was just getting into the vehicle when the front left driver seat bracket broke causing the seat to immediately start rocking side to side and towards the back. Upon inspection the bracket itself failed at a designed bend in the bracket just before the bracket attaches to the seat power sliding bracket. Material appears to be made of 1/8" metal problem: after time the bracket holding the driver/passenger side front seats to the frame of the vehicle begins to crack and break leaving the seat to rock and move as the vehicle is driven. This will lead to the seat possibly becoming disconnected from the vehicle frame in the event of a crash. File labeled: left brkt-driver seat - broken - is of the broken bracket. This part is on driver side towards the door. File labeled: right brkt-driver seat - nrml - is of the opposite bracket. This part is on driver side towards the passenger seat.

I have a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I came to a stop yesterday and the seat shifted forward and now rocks. I looked under it and the seat bracket broke. I looked into it on internet and it seems to be a very common problem with this vehicle. I contacted Chrysler but they were very unhelpful.

Driver's seat bracket (track) has an upside down " l" shaped metal bracket or support from the track to the seat which broke in two at the bend of the l. Happened while city street driving.

I reported this problem a month or so ago about the front driver's seat breaking and breaking off the vehicle frame. Plus the a/c issue under the glove compartment overheats and melts the mechanism and continues to burn. When I reported the issue, no wreck was involved. Since reporting the problem, the vehicle was involved in an accident and totaled. My fix apparently allowed the seat to stay on the frame but the seat still broke. Fortunately, no serious injury, only sore neck and bump to the hand.

The front right side bracket under the drivers seat broke/snapped in half turning my drivers seat into a rocking chair making it very unsafe to drive. Bracket snapped while I was driving. Seat just dropped two inches to the right while driving. Now, I am concerned about a collision and then the seat just flying off turning me into a crash test dummy. This is not the first time this has happened on this vehicle. This same exact thing happened in 2013 so I went to a junk yard and purchased a replacement seat and had the entire seat replaced. Now, three years later I have to go thru the same process and hope the junkyard can get me another seat. This is a joke really that this issue has not caused a recall on the 2004 Jeep. After reading the forums on the web, something should be done about it. Someone is going to get into an accident, the seat is going to fail and Chrysler is going to get sued, big-time.

The driver seat bracket snapped loose at the rear left side that holds the seat to the frame while driving. I was making a right hand turn when I heard the seat frame break. Now when driving the seat is very loose and makes a clicking noise with lots of unstable seat movements.

The drivers seat bracket holding chair has broken from regular use. While parked, I leaned back in my seat and a bracket on the front left that connects to the frame holding chair to the floor broke. This has caused the seat to become more of a rocking chair, wobbling back and forth. To my surprise a defect such as this does not warrant a recall. I wish Chrysler addresses this problems that seems to be common among some of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. If the drivers seat breaks loose from the floor during an impact or rollover, the driver could easily be thrown from the vehicle while still strapped in his/her seat. The problem seems to get worse making the car unsafe to drive.

While driving the drivers seat started to lean toward the passenger side, I slowed the Jeep down and pulled over to the side of the road. I did not see any obvious damage to the seating brackets/mounts. I continued to drive and the problem progressively got worse. The Jeep was taking to the auto shop on Jan 2, 2014 and the mechanics tightened the brackets. Jan 4 the same problem occurred again and again is progressively getting worse. Due to finances I am unable to get the entire seating system fixed.

Driving with 12 year old daughter in car. Making turn onto highway and driver's seat lurched backwards with loud "pop" sound. Almost lost control of car and scared the daylights out of my daughter. Pulled over and seat is loose of frame. There is a crack in the steel bracket where seat attaches to seat frame. I went online and saw this is a common defect in Jeep Grand Cherokees. Kind of ridiculous that this problem hasn't already been corrected. I have never owned or even heard of a car where it is common for the seat to break from its frame.
