“Driver side front seat of my 2002 Jeep grand cherokee Laredo started of making a clicking noise when applying brake or gas pedal. Then the lower metal of seat bottom snapped and detached caused me to fall into the back seat while driving, almost caused an accident. Lucky im still alive. I have since tried to find a replacement seat but am having no luck and I cant afford a $700+ bill to fix it.”

I was then involved in a very low impact accident where I was hit in the right front of my vehicle. At impact of collision the drivers seat completely sheared off of the bracket. This should never happen! I could have been seriously injured. Im now fighting with my insurance company to fix this seat. They are stating that it is not normal for a seat to break like this from a low impact collision. …”
NHTSA complaint #10403821, filed 2011-05, 130,000 miles“Drivers seat frame has broken 4 times and seat rocks back and forth. I have had the seat replaced 3 times, the last time I was told a new part number would be installed, when I claimed the vehicle, I found the same part number was put in and that one failed. Twice in the past 7 months I requested they order the new part, they agreed and each time I went in to inquire about the status of my request, they said they have no record of my requesting the part. At this time the mileage is now out of warranty.”
