“I was driving my family to school in the morning in my Chrysler Town And Country, my son was sitting in the back right side seat in his high back booster. When I began to stop at a stop sign his seat released from the clamps at the bottom and went backwards, making the chair go into the back trunk space of the van.. We have stow and go seating so the seats can move to be stowed. At the time of the accident his seat was properly latched, I had just cleaned the van and rechecked all the seats.

“Jeep used a very poor quality material for 2005 liberty seats. Did supplier test material before approving it? I am really disappointed with this situation. Seats stain with water, I am not able to clean it, the leading trademark does not clean, the stains gets bigger. I want jeep to replace or refund for the purchase of cover seats. I look forward to your prompt answer. Thanks.”
