Consumer Description

ON A RECENT DAY-LONG TRIP, THE ELECTRIC SEAT HEATER ON DRIVER'S SIDE OVERHEATED, CAUSING A 4" DIAMETER BADLY BLISTERED BURN ON THE BACK OF MY LEG. A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT WAS ISSUED ON 4/7/2009 FOR 2001-2004 MODELS (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V117000 ), BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ONE FOR THE 1999 GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. THE LOCAL DEALER (LITHIA IN GRANTS PASS, OR) REQUESTED I SUBMIT THIS SO HE CAN MAKE THE PROPER REPAIRS FREE OF CHARGE AS SPECIFIED FOR THE 2001-2004 MODELS. *TR
