NHTSA Complaint #10561575 — 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

THE DRIVERS SEAT BRACKET HOLDING CHAIR HAS BROKEN FROM REGULAR USE. WHILE PARKED, I LEANED BACK IN MY SEAT AND A BRACKET ON THE FRONT LEFT THAT CONNECTS TO THE FRAME HOLDING CHAIR TO THE FLOOR BROKE. THIS HAS CAUSED THE SEAT TO BECOME MORE OF A ROCKING CHAIR, WOBBLING BACK AND FORTH. TO MY SURPRISE A DEFECT SUCH AS THIS DOES NOT WARRANT A RECALL. I WISH CHRYSLER ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEMS THAT SEEMS TO BE COMMON AMONG SOME OF THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. IF THE DRIVERS SEAT BREAKS LOOSE FROM THE FLOOR DURING AN IMPACT OR ROLLOVER, THE DRIVER COULD EASILY BE THROWN FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE STILL STRAPPED IN HIS/HER SEAT. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO GET WORSE MAKING THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
