Drivers side seat bracket at base of seat broke, the seat is no longer stable, if involved in an accident the seat and seatbelt combination could prove more dangerous than the accident itself, if the bracket breaks all the way while driving this could cause a major accident!! I am just learning that this is a common problem. This needs a recall, very dangerous!!! *tr

Front driver seat snapped all of a sudden and made squeaking noises and is like sitting in a rocking chair. Went to see if just a screw was loose or had fallen out but the entire metal frame had snapped. It could be very dangerous and im lucky i was not driving in traffic when this occurred. *tr

Owned this jeep since i purchased it new back in 2000. A few months ago while i was driving, i leaned my body towards the drives side mirror to look at it closely and suddenly the rail on my seat snapped! My initial reaction was to catch my fall but unfortunately the only thing i was hanging onto was my steering wheel. Bad mistake, but it was more of a sudden reaction than an educated decision. I swerved with my…

The drivers side seat on my 2000 grand cherokee broke. The metal or design is faulty. At first i thought this was a unique problem, but the more i researched online, i found discussion forums with thousands of people with the same problem. I am now scared to drive this vehicle because other owners of 2000 grand cherokees have said that their seats have fully broken off while driving and have ended up in the back…

I have a 2000 jeep grand cherokee. Recently the front drivers seat frame broke at 2 points. I ended up losing control as i was rocked into the back seat as i was going around a curve. I did avoid hitting anything but this scared the life out of me. I never had a car that the frame holding the seat in place was so poorly made. *tr

My 2000 jeep grand cherokee front driver seat track has broke and been repaired and broke 3 times now in a year. It started out as little wobble like bolt loose, which is what i thought it was. My mechanic pulled the seat out and found the crack and broken metal. Took it to and certified welder and had it welded. He told my the metal was cheap and that he has welded 3 others with the same issue. The last time he…

I own a 2000 jeep grand cherokee that i bought in august 2009, this is my second jeep of this make and model and i have had the same issue with both, my drivers seat is broke. I am a mother of 2 small kids and find this is very dangerous. I looked on line and found that many other people with the same jeep have broken seats as well.

This is a complaint regarding my 2000 jeep grand cherokee limited. My husband noticed a wobble in the front drivers seat and within 2 days (before he could take it in) the seat became unattached just as he was driving up a steep and curvy hill. He is around 270 pounds, well below the 400 pound limit. Luckily he was going very slow as it is a steep hill through the neighborhood. He landed in the lap of my 6-year old…

1. Sat on drivers seat of 2000 grand cherokee laredo 2. Drivers seat frame broke. Upon inspection 4 weld points had broken and metal was fatigued. Average person weight is ~200 lbs (not excessive). 3. Re-welded frame after replacement couldn't be found at salvage yards due apparently to the same failure. We're lucky this didn't happen while driving. Plenty of forums and blogs about this same failure and i came here…

I have a 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo. The front passenger seat has broken free from it's tracks 3 times. This is not the first repair i have had to make. The back frame of the driver seat snapped when i hit the brakes and almost broke my back. This is an outrage, as many jeep owners are experiencing the same problem. Is it going to take a death to fix a few hundred thousand dollars worth of collective defects?…
