I noticed my driver's seat wobbling and found that two of the brackets that hold this seat to the floor were broken. The left front bracket broke once before but it was welded about 2 years ago. From what I've seen on the internet, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of complaints regarding this same issue. A recall needs to be issued as this is a huge safety concern for myself and my family as well as others who own jeep vehicles. Please issue a recall before a fatal accident occurs. Please let me know if there is anything further that I need to do; and I look forward to your prompt response in this regard. Thank you.

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 jeep cherokee. While parked, the contact noticed that the metal rail for the front driver side seat was fractured, causing the seat to slide backward. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic tests. The contact added a bolt in order to hold the seat in place. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

I was driving my 2000 jeep cherokee sport on the highway going 55mph when my drivers seat went back unexpectedly almost causing me to get into an accident. (the problem was the front frame of the seat just snapped, this seems to be a common issue I have just found out that has been going on for a while, jeep should do a recall on these as this is very dangerous and I could have gotten killed).

Driver side front seat broke off the frame! Never has this happened before to me. Now I have to get it welded or buy a new seat. It ripped right off the frame.

We own a 2000 jeep cherokee sport with approx. 155,000 miles. We bought it used 02/2004. Sometime in june 2010, just a couple of weeks prior to incident, the driver seat began to make a noise while sitting in it, during acceleration, and braking. We could not find the source of annoying noise and just hoped it would go away. On friday, july 9, 2010 when my husband went to do errands and sat in the seat he said it felt odd and the noise was gone. Happy the noise was gone he went about his business. When I got into the jeep on sunday, july 11, 2010 I noticed the seat was wobbling. I got out and looked under the seat. I found the problem....where the seat attaches to the seat adjuster the metal had ripped almost completely through at the right front bolt. While sitting in the seat it rocks from front left to right rear. The situation calls for immediate action on our part to get it fixed. We are obtaining information (time and cost to fix and amount of time without a vehicle-it's the driver seat not passenger) on welding, new seat, or replacement from junkyard. I am not excited about wanting to use another jeep seat as I fear same issue will occur. This is our only vehicle. We do not go mudding, four wheeling, mountain climbing, off roading with it. We don't live near a beach or take it to the coastline in order for high salt concentration in air to be a factor. Yes we live in the midwest but salt from shoes cannot reach this part. Of the seat.
