I had just bought this vehicle and taking the off ramp in a hard arc while slowing down i felt the drivers seat move. I only had a couple of hundred yards to go so i waited to check it when i got home. The front left seat bracket had sheared away leaving the seat sitting at a funny angle. This is a dangerous thing to happen. Luckily, no one was hurt.

The drivers side seat has a broken bracket that allows the assembly to rock back and forth. It was perfectly fine until last week. I have owned this vehicle since 2002 and the seat was never a problem. I have found numerous complaints about seat breakage on the jeep grand cherokee laredo and many other jeep models. This is a safety issue when all attachment points break and the seat is no longer attached to the…

The seat frame on the drivers side has broken in half. This should be a priority safety recall as this doesn't seem to be an isolated incident. Seems more like a design flaw by a company cutting corners. See the attached website for more jeep owners that have had the same problem with their vehicle.

For the second time in 5 years the drivers side seat support has broken. Both time the break has occurred on the front left corner. The broken part is of the support assembly, it is a tube that pivots to allow for up/down adjustments and holds the weight of the seat. *tr

Drivers side seat bracket has broken for second time due to normal use. If seat bracket breaks from normal use, how can it stand-up in an accident? Also it is not readily apparent when it breaks, so crash integrity is already compromised. Repair is $400 new bracket, or over $800 for my jeep. Old part will be retained in my garage. I thought i was the only one with this problem, but the internet is filled with people…

I was driving my 2003 jeep grand cherokee and i noticed my seat starting to wobble. Finally i noticed that the seat bracket snapped on the driver side. This is a total safety issue. I have taken it to jeep for repair and they advise there is no recall.. How can this be?. Oh and what's the point of wearing a seat belt of the seat isn't even strong enough to stay secure to the vehicle. *tr

My front driver seat bracket has snapped in 4 spots. This now leaves my front seat very un-secure to the vehicle and is very shifty. This is a safety issue that needs to have a recall as this has happened to many other people with the same model jeep as mine. The seat brackets and mounts are of poor quality and break easily. As result of this, my seat belt is useless because if i don't have a seat that is secured to…

Front left seat rail retaining bolt tore loose from the seat bottom frame rail and is resulting in a front left to right rear rocking motion. This makes the vehicle unsafe to operate because of drivers seat instability, and uncomfortable while driving due to abnormal seat position. It should be mentioned that there has been no abusive operation or abnormally high or hard usage of this vehicle. *nlm
