NHTSA Complaint #10640689 — 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

THE 1999-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SEAT TRACK HAS A WEAK POINT ON THE REAR SCISSOR ASSEMBLY. WHEN YOU START TO NOTICE A WOBBLE OR CLICK IT MEANS ONE OF THE TINY CONNECTING PIECES HAS BROKEN. EVENTUALLY THE OTHER SIDE WILL ALSO BREAK ALLOWING YOU TO LIFT THE ENTIRE SEAT UP. THE SEAT BRACKET THAT CONNECTS THE SEAT TO THE FLOOR OF THE JEEP CRACKED. I STARTED TO DO RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND HAVE CAUSED MANY ACCIDENTS. I HAVE LOOKED INTO GETTING THE ISSUE FIXED AND FOUND IT TO BE VERY DIFFICULT. I HAVE FOUND TWO WEB SITES THAT LIST COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. I REALLY FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THESE ARE THE LINKS TO THE OTHER WEBSITES: HTTP://JEEPSEATBRACKETPROBLEMS.BLOGSPOT.COM/ (THERE ARE OVER 450 OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM JEEP OWNERS. HTTP://WWW.JEEPSEATBRACKET.COM/PAGES/MY-STORY (THIS IS ANOTHER WEBSITE THAT IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THESE INCIDENTS.) I REALLY HOPE THAT THIS IS SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED BEFORE SEVER INJURIES RESULT IN THESE JEEP DEFECT. THANK YOU FOR THE CONSIDERATION. *TR
