NHTSA Complaint #10928230 — 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

DRIVER'S SEAT DETACHES FROM CAR FRAME. ELECTRICAL BLOWER MODULE RESISTOR OVERHEATS, MELTS, AND BURNS. BOTH ISSUES ARE KNOWN BY CONSUMERS AND DEALERSHIPS, SO THERE IS NO WAY JEEP/CHRYSLER DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THE DESIGN FLAWS AND THE DANGER. DRIVER'S SEAT: THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF CHATTER ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THE DRIVER'S SEAT DETACHMENT FROM THE CAR FRAME AND THE REASON FOR IT. PEOPLE HAVE CREATED VARIOUS FIXES THAT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK WELL. AS ADDED PROOF, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DRIVER'S SEAT IN ANY JUNK YARD. PLEASE GO LOOK FOR YOURSELF. MINE TOTALLY BROKE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, NEARLY CAUSING A WRECK. IT'S TERRIBLE AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL AND SOMEONE HELD CRIMINALLY LIABLE FOR THIS. BLOWER MOTOR MODULE: LOTS OF CHATTER ON THE INTERNET AS WELL AS TO THE PROBLEM AND THE CAUSE. MINE MELTED AND BECAME SO HOT THAT I COULDN'T TOUCH IT WITHOUT BURNING MY HAND - WHICH I DID. THERE IS A FIX, BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY AN UPGRADE MODULE WHICH STILL GETS HOT. ALSO, THE MODULE TURNS THE BLOWER IN REVERSE, SO YOU HAVE TO REVERSE THE LEADS. IT'S DANGEROUS AND AGAIN, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON IT EITHER AND SOMEONE HELD CRIMINALLY LIABLE.
