NHTSA Complaint #10500006 — 2003 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNER'S OF OUR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (2003) AND THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT STARTED WOBBLING FROM SIDE TO SIDE, WHICH MAKES DRIVING DISORIENTING PARTICULAR WHEN GOING AROUND CURVES. WHEN TAKEN IN TO THE SHOP WE WERE TOLD THAT THE BRACKETS ATTACHING THE SEAT FRAME HAVE FAILED AND ARE BROKEN AND NEED TO BE WELDED OR NEED A REPLACEMENT SEAT. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE WE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND REPLACING THE SEAT OR RE-WELDING THE SEAT BRACKETS WILL ONLY RESULT IN THIS HAPPENING AGAIN BECAUSE BRACKETS ARE MADE OF CHEAP METAL. I AM VERY FEARFUL THAT THE SEAT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT (DUE TO THE DISORIENTED IT CAUSES WHEN DRIVING) OR THAT AN INJURY WILL OCCUR BECAUSE THE SEAT WILL COMPLETELY DETACH IN WHICH CASE THE SEAT BELT IS BASICALLY WORTHLESS IN PREVENTING INJURY DURING AN ACCIDENT. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE THAT CAN BE FOUND IN A BASIC GOOGLE SEARCH IT IS DISGUSTING THAT DAIMLER/CHRYSLER HAS DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. *TR
