Consumer Description

THE DRIVER SEAT IN MY VEHICLE HAD STARTED TO BECOME LOOSE AND FURTHER INSPECTION SHOWED A BROKEN SEAT BRACKET. IN ONLINE SEARCHES I HAD FOUND THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL (1999-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE), SO COMMON IN FACT THAT A WEBSITE (HTTP://WWW.JEEPSEATBRACKET.COM/) SELLING AN IMPROVED SEAT FRAME WAS DEVELOPED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN AS I CAN'T IMAGINE THE SEAT BELT BEING AS EFFECTIVE IF THE SEAT ISN'T PROPERLY ALIGNED AND I HAVE FOUND NO RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON VEHICLES BUT IT APPEARS BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I WAS ABLE TO FIND ONLINE THAT THIS IS MORE A POORLY MANUFACTURED PRODUCT THAN A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE. *TR
