Consumer Description

JUST BOUGHT MY 2004 JGC IN APRIL 2013. PULLING UP TO MY DRIVEWAY WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT, I HEARD A STRANGE POP AND MY DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED BACKWARDS AND BECAME UNSTABLE. LOOKED AT THE SEAT BRACKET AND ONE SIDE IS CRACKED. IT HAD MADE SNAPPING NOISE BEFORE BUT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I THANK GOD I WAS DRIVING SLOW AND WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. I DID A SEARCH ONLINE AND THERE ARE 100'S OR THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED PROPERLY BY JEEP. *TR
