2021 JEEP WRANGLER Seats Problems

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the front passenger's side seat failed to lock into position and was sliding back and forth. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The contact related the failure to Technical Service Bulletin: 23-021-22 (Front Seat Will Not Unfold and Lock into Position); however, the vehicle was not covered under the Technical Service Bulletin. The failure mileage was approximately 16,000.

While driving on the highway in heavy traffic, the whole highway came to a dead stop which meant I had to slam on my brakes and when I did the rear bench seat flipped forward and threw one of my dogs onto the floor. After getting home I checked the seat and realized that there is no latch to hold the seat in place.

The plastic seat position return broke on both sides. The passenger seat is now locked in a forward position and the drivers seat leans backwards. This was addressed TSB 23-020-19 for previous models but the problem continues. This creates a very unsafe condition for the driver and passengers leaving them stranded and harmed if it reclines while driving.

the piece that holds the front seats in place (that slides them back and forth) is cheap plastic that breaks very easily. I have a brand new Jeep I cannot drive because the seat slides back and forth without locking into place, the plastic piece that locks it is very thin plastic

Brand new, 3 month old 2 DOOR Jeep JL Wrangler 2021. Jeep purchased in March 2021... PROBLEM: Front passenger side seat will not go back into upright position. It is on an angle & won't straighten up. Returned to service/dealership - they had to order a part to connect to the actual seat frame. Have to wait for part. Cannot have front passenger until repaired.
