I was driving my Jeep in traffic when the front drivers seat dropped at the front left corner. The weld on the seat snapped,and now the seat wobbles from front left to back right, worried that the rest will break when im driving and kill someone or myself in a bad accident. Read hundreds of the same complains and to me it should be a recall and sort it out before its to late. The Jeep dealer did not want to know.

The driver's side seat of my 2000 Jeep grand cherokee Laredo became dislodged from the brackets while I was driving. This caused me to loose control of the vehicle and nearly crash into oncoming traffic. I inspected the vehicle on the side of the road and discovered that the rails on the brackets had torn apart. These should be made out of some type of durable metal but they brackets are very poorly constructed and the metal is not thick enough to handle the wear and tear of regular use. I looked on the internet for replacement brackets but, instead of finding parts, I found a series of complaints by drivers who experienced the same problem with their Jeep. This is a serious problem that was corrected in the newer Jeeps but is still an issue for anyone with Jeep model purchased from 1998-2004.

The seat of my 2001 Jeep grand cherokee broke right off the floor. I can now lift the seat right out of the vehicle. This is not a safe situation.

I started noticing that the driver's side seat felt like it was tipping. I also noticed a noise and movement when I got into the seat or turned a corner while driving. I removed the driver's side seat assembly and found that the left front mounting point had broken away from the floor mounted tracks. I removed the tracks from the seat frame and found where a wedge shaped piece of the seat frame had broken away at the mounting hole allowing the seat to rock. I found numerous cracks in the seat frame radiating out from that same mounting hole. I also found a crack the top of the seat frame possibly caused during the manufacturing process. To repair the failure I welded the wedge shaped piece back to the frame. I also welded the cracks radiating out from that mounting hole. I noticed that the mounting holes at all four points were much larger than the mounting studs on the floor mounted tracks. I also noticed that the flared nuts used to mount the frame to the tracks didn't seem wide enough to adequately cover holes and provide the support needed to prevent failure. I remounted the frame on the tracks using large washers under the original flared nuts to spread the stress over more of the frame surface. During the original inspection I found that the other front mounting point had started to distort around the nut. I flattened that back to its original shape with a hammer. My concern would be that if that other mounting point had failed during a rear end collision it could have allowed the seat to pitch back or become completely detached from the floor mounted tracks with resulting injuries. If it had become detached during normal operation it could have caused loss of control of the vehicle.

Bracket to the front driver's seat snaps. Very dangerous. Happened while driving. Why the seat brackets haven't been recalled is a crime. What's more,the dealer wants over$1000 to replace the whole bracket! this isn't right. This is a major safety issue borne out of poor engineering that should be recalled and replaced by Chrysler before any potential accidents/fatalities occur.
