The front drivers seat frame was broken. We were told that the seat should not have failed by the dealership. If we would have gotten into an accident the driver would have gone through the windshield because the the front seat frame was broken. This part was not even covered by the extended warranty we purchased from the dealership. We had a 100,000 mile -0- deductable warranty. We had to pay for the safety related…

2000 jeep grand cherokee. After four years of use, the driver seat disconnected from the metal frame attached to the floor of the car. I looked under the car seat and the metal had twisted away from the bolt anchoring the driver seat to the floor. I only weigh 190 pounds and i don't believe that this should happen after four years of use. It is a dangerous condition as the driver seat is no longer anchored to the…

I have a jeep grand cherokee 2000. About the end of 2001 the drivers seat rail broke at the front bolt area causing the seat to be unstable and dangerous. I went to the dealer and, although out of warranty, they replaced it no charge. They were unsure why it happened. Now, the week of 11-15-03 the front seat rail broke again in the same place. I drive long distances and put a lot of miles on a vehicle. I went to the…

I purchased a 2000 jeep grand cherokee larado new in september of 2000. In june of 2003 without prior warning the driver's seat broke. The seat frame broke away from the track ripping a piece of metal underneath. This did not occur during any forceful action and i feel it could be an extremely dangerous safety hazard. Chrysler will not take any responsibility for the cost of repairs. The part number that needs to be…
