“The third row seat is stuck in the up position eliminating 50% of my view. The third row seat is never used by me and is now not functioning at all and stuck in the up position due to a factory defect.”

NHTSA complaint #10762539, filed 2015-09, 75,000 miles

“I was cleaning my vehicle and moved the rear passenger seat to a folded position to access the third row seat. I heard a pop and the seat would no longer stay in an upright positon. If the seat is placed upright it swings back down. Took to dealership and they told me the frame on the second row was not working correctly they gave me a quote of $356.85 for the part and $100.00 per hour labor lasting from 5-6hours. I was also charged $109.78 for a diagnostic. I would like to have the seat fixed as soon as possible this is my families sole means of transportation. …”

“Cracked windshield -- my wife's 2008 Jeep commander has experienced three chips in the windshield; one was repaired, one developed into a crack and the third has remained a star. In addition, a crack developed below the one cause by a pebble. We have also experienced rust stains on the third row seats where the seat fold-down hinges are rusting through the leather seat coverings.”
