Driver's side seat frame broke. Seat wobbles back and forth. Obviously an unsafe situation being strapped into a seat that is not properly secured to vehicle. Will force of pushing brake pedal totally separate seat from vehicle? This is a major safety issue relative to passenger restraint (me) and braking or stopping of the vehicle(others). I have read where this is a common occurrence on jeeps of the same model and year as mine. Clearly, this is a manufacturing defect. I have never had a seat frame fail on any other vehicle that I have operated. This is not rust related. It is simply a failed vehicle weight reduction program that has blossomed into a full blown safety concern for both those in the vehicle and anyone else outside of the vehicle in its general proximity. Something needs to be done as vehicle owners will continue to operate these vehicles until the seat totally severs its compromised mounting and becomes totally detached from the vehicle. In the mean time, anyone in its path is at serious risk.

Driver's seat broke. The metal that the seat is bolted to is too thin. Luckily this happened in a parking lot and not on the highway.

My 1999 jeep cherokee has a broken driver's seat pan. I was coming to a red light and I heard a snap sound. I went to investigate and noticed that the metal seat pan is cracked all around the where the bolt holds it in the seat track. Now the seat rocks a little bit, and it's going to be a matter of time before the other corners crack due to the increased stress. I have not yet corrected the failure. But in order to do so, I will need a whole new seat. This is a safety issue because if these break, it will mean nothing is holding the seat in place. I know a lot of people in the jeep community that have the same problem with the seat pans breaking.

I was driving home from class today when I heard my seat pop. After that my seat became wobbly and unsecure. When I got home I went to check it out and the weld was ripped out causing the problem. What frightens me is I did not do anything unusual and if I got in an accident I could have been severely injured or worse.
