“January 9 2018, the heated seat in my newly purchased Jeep burnt me so badly that 6 weeks later I still havent healed completely. I do have a photos of injured area and it's current condition is last pic. These seats need recalled, it could have been even word-for-word child or old person with thin skin, it was so painful to shower, sit, or much less move during this healing .”
NHTSA complaint #11073195, filed 2018-02, 200,000 miles“Seat began rocking laterally when cornering. Inspection indicated all seat parts were firmly attached. Entering a parked vehicle on a cold evening, the seat rotated to the right and backward slightly. Since then the seat will not adjust fore/aft on its rails nor am I able to bring the seat into its original upright position. I receive a warning that the seatbelt is not buckled even though the belt is firmly buckled. The vehicle has never been in an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11173591, filed 2019-02, 181,000 miles“While braking to avoid a collision with another vehicle the mounting brackets on my driver seat broke, sending me forward into the steering wheel. At this time that problem has not been fixed although I have an appointment to have the seat looked at. The seat mountings and supports are visibly cracked in two places and the entire seat rocks back and forth.”
NHTSA complaint #10339609, filed 2010-06, 112,000 miles“I own a 2000 Grand Cherokee laredo. The drivers side seat is broken and wobbling. I had it welded by a mechanic about a year ago and now it is completely broken off the frame and I am unable to drive it due to the extreme lack of safety. I saw many, many complaints exactly the same for this car online. When is chrysler going to be held accountable for this?”
NHTSA complaint #10340318, filed 2010-06, 81,000 miles“I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Recently the front drivers seat frame broke at 2 points. I ended up losing control as I was rocked into the back seat as I was going around a curve. I did avoid hitting anything but this scared the life out of me. I never had a car that the frame holding the seat in place was so poorly made.”
