The contact owns a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the driver's side seat burnt her legs while wearing jeans. The contact sustained 2nd-degree burns however medical attention was provided. There were no warning indicator lights illuminated. The contact called the local dealer where informed there were no associated recalls. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified however, no further assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 165,000.
Seat began rocking laterally when cornering. Inspection indicated all seat parts were firmly attached. Entering a parked vehicle on a cold evening, the seat rotated to the right and backward slightly. Since then the seat will not adjust fore/aft on its rails nor am I able to bring the seat into its original upright position. I receive a warning that the seatbelt is not buckled even though the belt is firmly buckled. The vehicle has never been in an accident.
Car's instrument panel went wild w hen I started the car.every warning light came on and stayed on. Gauges worked immediately after starting the car, but slowly lost power to keep them on, and they went to the "key off" position. Nothing on the drivers armrest worked, no seat auto positioner, no window open, shut, or lock. Information panel overhead went dead (blank).
January 9 2018, the heated seat in my newly purchased jeep burnt me so badly that 6 weeks later I still havent healed completely. I do have a photos of injured area and it's current condition is last pic. These seats need recalled, it could have been even word-for-word child or old person with thin skin, it was so painful to shower, sit, or much less move during this healing .
Driver seat floor bracket cracked for the second time in four years. Seat is unstable anytime.

Drivers seat bottom , welds broke , cracked frame . Drivers seat bottom seems to become very unstable and seems to rock back and forth . Also tilts side too side when cornering .
I have read that !any people have the same driver's seat issue. The holes for the bolts has been shredded completely and the dealership tried to charge $3,500 to repair it. It's a defect that should be fixed for free. It under the seat, how can the owner destroy that. 2) the head light covers gets this discoloration or grime on the inside decreasing the brightness by 45% at night, this didn't happen in my bronco. I called chrysler and they said the recall # listed online didn't match the format of the numbers in their system to do research. What? This is ridiculous, fix your recalls chrysler!!!
