The front driver's seat of my 1999 jeep grand cherokee suddenly became loose and wobbled during driving. While the seat track and floor-level frame appear to be intact, the seat itself has become detached from the frame. Driving the suv now requires carefully maintaining balance, especially in turns. *tr

I currently own a 1999 jeep grand cherokee. Over the last year i noticed a squeaking noise coming from driver's side seat. The noise became more apparent after i would hit bumps in the road or adjust my seating position. On the 10th of june i was driving my car and the front of my seat popped off of the power seat track. My seat flipped back and rested on the rear seat. I almost lost control of the vehicle before i…

No event triggered my seat failure, the seat track (frame) broke and the seat is behaving like a rocking chair. It hurts my back to drive and is very unsafe. This is my driver's front seat that is broken. I did nothing to cause it to break. I cannot find another seat anywhere without having to order a new one through the dealer, which i've been quoted up to $1,500. This is outrageous, a seat breaking in normal…

My 1999 jeep grand cherokee front driver's seat has broken in two spots. Front left weld and rear right weld. I am extremely fortunate that the "break" of the weld did not happen while i was driving at a "normal rate of speed", if it did, a severe and tragic accident could have occurred. The main reason i am writing to you is the fact, during my research for a "fix" or replacement seat, i stumbled across a few…

The metal broke at two locations causing the seat to wobble severely making driving safely impossible. 3. According to jeep, the entire seat must be replaced at my expense. Reinforcement welding could repair the problem and prevent future failure of the…

I am facing another broken seat bracket on a 1999 jeep grand cherokee. This is the second broken bracket i have had on the same seat in less than 4 years. The last time i replaced it, the part cost $170. Now i'm told it will cost me over $300. And that's just the cost for the part--it doesn't include labor. This part being broken results in my vehicle being unsafe to drive. If i were to be in an accident, i…

The seat bracket on my 1999 jeep grand cherokee broke while i was driving causing the seat to "float" and move up and down on that corner. I pulled over and looked under the seat to find a break on a piece of flat steel that is used to raise the seat up and down with the electric motors. There was no crash or other outside influence causing the seat to break. It is unsafe to drive because the driver is not secure…
