“My 2001 Jeep cherokee Laredo front driver seat broke. It is extremely dangerous I have been trying to replace the seat and have been unable to find one. I was driving when the seat broke luckily I had both hands on the steering wheel tightly and sitting completely straight or I probably would have lost control of my car. It is so widespread that several different body shops and junk yards have told me they break so other they never can get one intact. I have looked for oem parts which is my first choice and have found this item not available it. …”

NHTSA complaint #10360385, filed 2010-10, 55,000 miles“I own a 2001 grand cherokee Jeep Laredo 4x4. The problem is with the eight way seat. The hinged actuator that the seat is mounted to has fractured causing the seat to become unstable. I performed tests that revealed cracks in the welds and in the component parts themselves. I have been in contact with Jeep and they say there is no problems with that model and the seats. They will not replace the part because the feel its not a safety issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10212591, filed 2007-12, 75,000 miles“I started noticing that the driver's side seat felt like it was tipping. I also noticed a noise and movement when I got into the seat or turned a corner while driving. I removed the driver's side seat assembly and found that the left front mounting point had broken away from the floor mounted tracks. I removed the tracks from the seat frame and found where a wedge shaped piece of the seat frame had broken away at the mounting hole allowing the seat to rock. I found numerous cracks in the seat frame radiating out from that same mounting hole. …”
NHTSA complaint #10282539, filed 2009-09, 138,812 miles“Driver's seat where it mounts to the movable rails is broken. Repeated calls to various used part dealers shows that there is a problem with this. Apparently at around 60,000 miles or so the seat breaks. This is a safety problem in that the seat can come loose during normal driving, or during an accident causing loss of control, serious injury, or death.”
