“The driver's side seat of my 2000 Jeep grand cherokee Laredo became dislodged from the brackets while I was driving. This caused me to loose control of the vehicle and nearly crash into oncoming traffic. I inspected the vehicle on the side of the road and discovered that the rails on the brackets had torn apart. These should be made out of some type of durable metal but they brackets are very poorly constructed and the metal is not thick enough to handle the wear and tear of regular use. …”

NHTSA complaint #10201730, filed 2007-09, 100,000 miles“I have owned my 2000 Jeep grand cherokee Laredo for almost 9 nine years. Almost a year ago, the drivers-side seat began to wobble. At first, it was more of an inconvenience. However, soon it became apparent that the seat was really coming off of the base. About a month ago, I took it to southpoint chrysler Jeep in austin, texas in order for the seat to be fixed. Before taking it to the dealership, I removed the seat from the base and noticed that where the seat was affixed to the base, the metal had sheared off, rendering the bolts useless. …”
