I sat down in the driver's seat and leaned slightly back against the backrest and the seat broke where it attaches to its rails. Upon inspection it was broken at three places on the frame of the chair itself. This could have been a major safety incident if it had happened while I was driving the vehicle. Jeep should issue a safety recall as this is a substandard part.

The driver's seat has broken and has become very wobbly and unstable. I drive the vehicle normal and I am not an obese person. The seat started out just making creaking noises, then it broke in one spot and has since broken in a second spot. After doing some extensive research I have found that there are a lot of people complaining about this, yet there is no recall. Price to fix is between $400-800 at a dealership. If I were to get in an accident with the seat in the condition it is in, I could have worse injuries than if the seat was how it should be. I think that due to the fact of how many people have this problem with the cherokee/grand cherokee, there needs to be a recall since it's a safety issue.

I own a 1999 jeep cherokee sport and the drivers side seat frame broke. Upon bringing it to an auto body shop the employee told me when he ordered the part the parts store told him that they had a lot of them being ordered for that vehicle. I would like to find out if perhaps this should be a recall issue and if it is how to get reimbursed for the money I paid to have it fixed.
