Seat began rocking laterally when cornering. Inspection indicated all seat parts were firmly attached.

I receive a warning that the seatbelt is not buckled even though the belt is firmly buckled.…

Gauges worked immediately after starting the car, but slowly lost power to keep them on, and they went to the "key off" position.

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 .

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…
