Consumer Description

I OWN A 2001 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE METAL THAT ATTACHES THE SEAT TO THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT MOUNTING HAS FAILED IN MULTIPLE AREAS LEANING THE SEAT BACK AND TO THE RIGHT. THE SEAT IS HELD BY ONE BOLT, WHILE THE METAL IS TEARING ON THE OTHERS DUE TO THE TENSION. THE TWO DRIVERS ARE BOTH FIT, UNDER 200LBS WITH GOOD POSTURE - THIS IS CLEARLY A STRUCTURAL DEFECT. THE SEAT ANGLE NOW CAUSES THE DRIVER BACK AND HIP PAIN AND IN AN ACCIDENT WOULD POSE AN EXTREME DANGER TO ALL PASSENGERS. REPLACEMENT DRIVER SEAT IS OVER TWICE THE COST OF MATCHING PASSENGER SEAT INDICATING THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THEIR DEFECT. *TR
