Consumer Description

MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS JUST HAD IT'S THIRD FAILURE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME. THE FIRST TIME THAT THE SEAT FRAME BROKE BACK IN 2002 IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY WITH CHRYSLER. CHRYSLER REPLACED THE SEAT FRAME WITH A NEW SEAT FRAME. IT BROKE AGAIN IN 2006. THIS TIME I HAD IT WELDED AND IT LASTED UNTIL APRIL 2010 WHEN IT BROKE AGAIN! EACH TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING THE CAR, WHILE ACCELERATING, AND IT SNAPPED AND THREW ME BACKWARDS IN THE SEAT TOWARDS THE REAR SEAT AREA. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR EACH TIME AND THEN PLACED TEMPORARY SUPPORTS AROUND THE SEAT UNTIL I COULD HAVE THE REPAIR COMPLETED. I AM PLANNING TO HAVE THE FRAME WELDED AGAIN THIS TIME. I AM SORRY THAT I DID NOT REPORT THIS BEFORE NOW. I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED DRIVER AND I AM AFRAID TO ALLOW MY YOUNG DRIVERS IN THE HOUSEHOLD TO DRIVE THIS JEEP ANY LONGER. I AM THE ONLY ONE TO DRIVE IT. *TR
