Consumer Description

FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT SEEMED WOBBLY, LOOKED UNDER SEAT AND BRACKET THAT HOLDS SEAT TO THE RAILS IS BROKEN ON FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE. YOU CAN NOW LEAN BACK AND FRONT OF SEAT LIFTS UP. VERY DANGEROUS. IF THERE WAS A CRASH, YOU COULD EASILY END UP IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR. I HAVE LOOKED AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SITUATION WITH THE JEEPS, 1 SITE HAD OVER 2600 COMPLAINTS IN A 2 YEAR PERIOD. I TOOK OFF THE SIDE OF THE SEAT AND ADDED 2 NYLON STRAPS TO HOLD SEAT DOWN TO RAIL. I HAVE READ MANY PLACES WHERE PEOPLE HAVE THIS WELDED BACK TOGETHER AND IT BREAKS AGAIN. METAL IS VERY THIN, NOT BUILT TO TAKE STRAIN OF ANY KIND. *TR
