Front driver's side seat frame has cracked and is now completely separated from the floorboard. I have had it repaired once already by welding the seat back together. Clearly, with the number of complaints about this exact problem on the internet, there is in issue. *tr

The motors on the front seats were broken when i bought it, and i noticed that the driver's seat seemed wobbly. Shortly after purchasing the jeep the driver's seat brackets got worse, shifting when i got in and recently broke through. After the bracket broke, the airbag warning light began going off when i go around a corner or curve and the seat shifts. Began researching and found this was a common problem with…

I was driving down the road at about 40 mph and my seat started to wobble. I stopped the vehicle and looked at the seat. The seat bracket had broken. There was no known strain on the seat and no accident. I'm still at work so i haven't been able to try and find replacement parts yet. A few months ago a coworker with the same vehicle had his seat break completely and he ended up laying down in the car. *tr

Own a 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo and front drivers seat carriage has broken due to a poor design. Started squeaking and poorly built metal frame will crack and come loose from foundation leaving you looking at the overhead while taking off from a green light. Very dangerous! Does someone need to die before jeep notices this is a factory problem and issue a recall for this potentially life and death issue? *tr

Seat brackets under driver seat have broken, which causes seat to move when going around bends, getting in and out of seat. The way the bracket has broken, the seat can physically be lifted up off the floor. We removed the seat, there is only 1 of the 4 brackets not broken, so if the last one would break the seat could tip over or fall backwards or forwards. If you would go around a bend, you would either hit up…

Drivers seat apparently cracks, starts squeaking, wobbles and then breaks. I have taken it to be welded three times now and each time it lasts from a couple of months to a couple of years before the problem occurs again. It has now broken for the forth time. Electric seat motor also fails to lift the seat under its own power without helping by pulling the seat forward while selecting the seat forward position on the…

Without any prior signs, the frame on the underside of the front seat my 2000 jeep grand cherokee broke. It appears that the metal near the bolt was weak and simply snapped. After searching online, it appears that this is a common problem. Fortunately i haven't had the problem with the seat turning into a rocking chair yet but i fear that it is inevitable. This vehicle has less than 50,000 miles on it and has never…

2000 jeep grand cherokee ltd. Is riddled with safety problems. Chief among them is the drivers side seat frame. Bottom part of the seat frame has busted in several places. This is a serious matter and daimler/chrysler should be held accountable. New seats are not easy to find and if you can find one the price is astronomically outrageous. *tr

2000 jeep grand cherokee: while making a left hand turn, the left front driver's side seat rail detached from the floor rail. The steel was weak and the bolt holding it down appears to have "ripped" right through the steel rail. Now the front left corner of the seat moves up and down about six inches. This is, hopefully, a one-time failure, but very dangerous. I haven't found a replacement yet. Thousands of people…
