Seat began rocking laterally when cornering. inspection indicated all seat parts were firmly attached. entering a parked vehicle on a cold evening, the seat rotated to the right and backward slightly. since then the seat will not adjust fore/aft on its rails nor am i able to bring the seat into its original upright position. i receive a warning that the seatbelt is not buckled even though the belt is firmly buckled. the vehicle has never been in an accident.
Car's instrument panel went wild w hen i started the car.every warning light came on and stayed on. gauges worked immediately after starting the car, but slowly lost power to keep them on, and they went to the "key off" position. nothing on the drivers armrest worked, no seat auto positioner, no window open, shut, or lock. information panel overhead went dead (blank).
January 9 2018, the heated seat in my newly purchased jeep burnt me so badly that 6 weeks later i still havent healed completely. i do have a photos of injured area and it's current condition is last pic. these seats need recalled, it could have been even word-for-word child or old person with thin skin, it was so painful to shower, sit, or much less move during this healing .

Drivers seat bottom , welds broke , cracked frame . drivers seat bottom seems to become very unstable and seems to rock back and forth . also tilts side too side when cornering .
I have read that !any people have the same driver's seat issue. the holes for the bolts has been shredded completely and the dealership tried to charge $3,500 to repair it. it's a defect that should be fixed for free. it under the seat, how can the owner destroy that. 2) the head light covers gets this discoloration or grime on the inside decreasing the brightness by 45% at night, this didn't happen in my bronco. i called chrysler and they said the recall # listed online didn't match the format of the numbers in their system to do research. what? this is ridiculous, fix your recalls chrysler!!!
As i was getting off my vehicle i heard a pop coming from around my seat. i did not know what it was and did not make much of it until the next time i sat on the seat. upon entering and seating on the driver's seat i noticed that the seat was not even as it had been in the day before. i got off the vehicle and the front right corner of the driver's seat had dropped and the seat was leaning down toward this corner. after i inspected under the seat i determined that this was due to the front, right bracket connecting the seat to the track breaking off the track. now the seat is only supported by three brackets. i feel that this should not have happened to my vehicle given its age, mileage and my height and weight. i thick that this potential very unsafe in the event of an accident. *tr
Bought this automobile used. a couple of days later we noticed the drivers seat track had separated in two places on each side of the seat. the seat was literally being held to the track with bailing wire that the previous owner had rigged. we removed the wire and used a cushion spring to hold the seat to the track. note: the metal brackets on both sides of the seat had simply fatigued and split in two. i called our local jeep/chrysler dealer and he gave me the national number for jeep customer service. after speaking with the rep, nothing could be done since there had not been a recall notice on this item. i checked the internet and found that this was a common complaint for this year of grand cherokee. i feel very strongly that this condition is very dangerous and chrysler/jeep should recall the drivers side seat track for these years (1999-2004) grand cherokee. *tr

Driver's seat front outboard attach point failed during normal use. the failure was in the frame of the seat base where it attaches to the seat adjustment track. this is a manual adjust seat. i am original owner and of average build. vehicle has never been involved in a collision, abused in any way, and has been maintained in excellent condition. i conducted my own informal investigation. the seat base frame where it attaches to the seat track is a light weight sheet metal stamping. the holes in the stamping that accept the seat track attachment studs are significantly oversize compared with the size of the stud. the seat track stud is fastened to the seat base with a bare nut that is only slightly larger than the hole diameter. this results in the nut bearing down on a very small surface area of the sheet metal. high stress is created at these points, especially if the nut is not exactly centered on the oversize hole. also, the front attach points are several inches to the rear of the front edge of the seat frame, further increasing forces on ...
