1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Jun 26, 2010 · Seats · 140,000 miles · NC

I currently own a 1999 jeep grand cherokee. Over the last year I noticed a squeaking noise coming from driver's side seat. The noise became more apparent after I would hit bumps in the road or adjust my seating position. On the 10th of june I was driving my car and the front of my seat popped off of the power seat track. My seat flipped back and rested on the rear seat. I almost lost control of the vehicle before I was able to lean forward and regain my balance. The seat is still only attached by the rear pivot points. I had to lower my rear seats and push my drivers seat back until it could be stabilized. I took my car to the dealership and they stated that the entire seat needed to be replaced along with the track and that the repairs were my responsibility. Jeep obviously failed to engineer their seat tracks properly which almost caused me to lose control of my vehicle.
