NHTSA Complaint #10298552 — 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT HAS BROKEN IN TWO SPOTS. FRONT LEFT WELD AND REAR RIGHT WELD. I AM EXTREMELY FORTUNATE THAT THE "BREAK" OF THE WELD DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT A "NORMAL RATE OF SPEED", IF IT DID, A SEVERE AND TRAGIC ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. THE MAIN REASON I AM WRITING TO YOU IS THE FACT, DURING MY RESEARCH FOR A "FIX" OR REPLACEMENT SEAT, I STUMBLED ACROSS A FEW WEBSITES WITH CONSUMERS, LIKE MYSELF, INQUIRING WHY THIS HAPPENED. WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT A HANDFUL, WE ARE TALKING OVER A THOUSAND ENTRIES OF THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENING TO OTHER CONSUMERS. AND THIS IS MORE THAN LIKELY THE TIP OF THE ICE BERG SINCE MANY, MANY FOLKS WOULD NEVER POST TO A BLOG OR EVEN USE THE INTERNET AS A PLATFORM FOR COMPLAINT. JEEP CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR POOR QUALITY. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR THE POWERS TO BE TO DO THE RIGHT THING BY THE CONSUMER. ACCIDENTAL DEATH DUE TO A CAR ACCIDENT CAUSED BY POOR WORKMANSHIP. PLEASE ADVISE. BY THE COMMENTS I HAVE REVIEWED, THIS IS A CASE OF POOR QUALITY AND SECOND CLASS WORKMANSHIP OF THE WELDS/FRAME OF THE SEATS IN THESE VEHICLES. *TR
