Driver's side seat left bracket that attaches to the support to the car broke while driving. This leaves the left side of the seat lower and basically unattached to the car.

Brought up the potential danger and asked if there was a recall for this and was told no.
1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee seats complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 91 of 91, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The drivers seat left front corner has broken due to thin metal used to manufacture this part..shoud be a recall on this as it could cause a loss of control situation if it breaks while driving vehicle.
The driver's side seat has failed twice; the first time 2 years ago, when the bolts holding the seat the the frame broke, causing the seat to "float in the seat railing, and again this week, where the frame holding the seat broke. In both cases, I believe this could lead to an significant increase in injury, should the vehicle get into an accident. When I spoke with both the dealership & chrysler, they said as the vehicle was out of warranty, they would do nothing about it. When I brought up the potential danger, they wanted me to submit my bills for review, documentation they can get from the dealership.
The driver seat on my 1999 jeep cherokee laredo have given way. Both support bolts have sheared leaving the seat unsupported. This happened in normal driving conditions. I contacted chrysler, with no satisfaction. I was told that the car is out of warranty. This seems to be a serious defect in the seat support system.
While adjusting power seat a piece of metal bracket that attaches the seat to the rail assembly fractured for no apparent reason. Dealer states since warranty period was over there is little they can do and that they are unaware of any similiar complaints.
The driver side seat front left support broke while driving. This caused the seat front corner to lower. The seat is mobile. The cause of the failure is yet to be determined.
Broken elevator bracket on drivers power seat. The front left bracket has broken at the weld. It does not appear that this weld had been adequately fused to the axis shaft. The bracket broke in half at the point where it is intersected by the axis component. Sometimes this seat rocks backward suddenly when driving which diminishes my ability to control the vehicle. I am more concerned that the drivers seat is not anchored to the vehicle chassis as designed. In the event of being the victim of a rear end collision, I anticipate being thrown to the rear of the cab due to lack of restraint. I am virtually the only person that has driven this vehicle and the seat has only been elevated from its lowest position a few times. The repair estimate is $586 (to replace the entire assembly) as the warranty has expired. This failure is clearly a manufacturing defect and not due to wear or misuse. The failure of this component significantly compromises driver and occupant safety.

My power steering began to fail last february and it fails whenever I am going at speeds below 20mph or if I am off of the gas pedal. I have talked to several jeep owners (2000 or 1999 models) that are experiencing the same problem. When I call daimler chrysler they contend that they are unaware of any problem with the power steering. I don't believe it. I have also had problems with the seat heaters. I have had to replace the drivers side twice and now the rarely used passenger side heater is failing. They told me during my second repair that the 1999 jeeps have a very fragile part and that they have replaced them with a better part for the 2000 jeeps. I had to pay repair costs on my second repair because my warranty had expired and I'm afraid that they may not even cover this new problem even though they admitted that the part is faulty and very fragile.

Noticed that the seat felt like it wobbled but could not readily detect problem. After problem appeared to worsen I made a thorough check. I found that at the front left corner of the drivers seat the metal had failed around the point of attachement to the floor/chassis. This left the seat basically unattached at this point. I plan on contacting the original dealership today to determine repair process.
