Consumer Description

THE POWER DRIVER'S SEAT RETAINING BRACKETS HAVE BROKEN AND HAVE CREATED A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING SITUATION. RESEARCHING THIS BREAKAGE ONLINE REVEALS A WIDESPREAD SAFETY HAZARD THAT IS NOT BEING DEALT WITH BY JEEP. A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE DUE TO THE HIGH FREQUENCY OF THE BREAKAGE OF A CAR'S SAFETY FEATURES, WHICH I HAD NEVER ENCOUNTERED BEFORE ... A DRIVER'S SEAT RETAINING BRACKETS FAILING DUE TO INSUFFIECIENTLY STRONG METAL USED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
