2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo. Front driver's seat started to wobble/rock and then broke. A welder friend tried to braze it back together, held for 2 days broke again. Off to junkyard to find whole new seat. Looking online this is a wide-spread problem. An obvious defect and should be recalled. Dealership wants $800-1000 to fix. *tr

I own a 2000 grand cherokee laredo. The drivers side seat is broken and wobbling. I had it welded by a mechanic about a year ago and now it is completely broken off the frame and i am unable to drive it due to the extreme lack of safety. I saw many, many complaints exactly the same for this car online. When is chrysler going to be held accountable for this? *tr

While braking to avoid a collision with another vehicle the mounting brackets on my driver seat broke, sending me forward into the steering wheel. At this time that problem has not been fixed although i have an appointment to have the seat looked at. The seat mountings and supports are visibly cracked in two places and the entire seat rocks back and forth. *tr

This vehicle did much like the previous owner's complaint's with the driver's seat. I had pulled in to a parking space and the seat just collapsed. I'm fortunate that i wasn't driving but trying to park. Why haven't nhtsa entered a recall on this??? I'm trying to get the seat welded as i can't afford to buy another seat or another vehicle. This is a very dangerous situation that needs to be addressed. As long as…

I think it is ridiculous that a drivers seat can completely break from everyday use . My seat ( and hundreds, maybe thousands of others that i've seen on-line) just decided to break one day . Welds - welds- i'm a welder and i do not understand how a car - 2000 jeep grand cherokee - can be put on the market and a total failure of a drivers seat can occur . It is just inexcusable and i cant believe there was never a…

2000 jeep grand cherokee - heater core leakage led us to take up carpet - both driver's side and passenger side holes in the frame which hold the seats down to the body, were rusted through. Cause - water trap (design flaw) in design of the unibody, and no undercoating to help prevent such occurrence. Frame metal is approx. 1/8th inch thick. Areas affected were cut out and new metal welded in (by private party - not…

The driver's seat on my 2000 jeep grand cherokee started squeaking a few weeks ago, and the other day the entire seat bracket broke while i was going around a corner at speed (within the speed limit). When the seat bracket broke, the entire seat (with me in it) abruptly leaned to the side and i momentarily lost control of the vehicle and dented the side of the car on a guardrail. I have contacted a jeep dealer, and…

2000 jeep grand cherokee. The frame underneath my driver's seat has cracked and broken causing the seat to be loose and tilted. The seat's frame bends over time and eventually began to tilt more and get more lose as the frame bent each time i sat down. Eventually the frame completely broke, which results in my driver's side front seat to be very 'wobbly,' the jeep dealership quoted this at a $700 fix, just because…
