I have a 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo and I am having issues with the drivers side seat. It has broken and I have fixed it and broken again. I took it to my repair shop for welding an when they took it out they found it was only being held together by fabric. I understand that vehicle parts have a lifespan and some require that they be replaced . The frame of the drivers seat should not be one of them. I'm looking at a $400-500.00 repair that I should not be responsible for. This is a serious safety issue that should have been resolved through a recall. The price for the replacement frame is over $300.00, not counting labor. I have looked at complaints online and this issue seems to be very common. You can't even find replacement seats at salvage yards. The big three have been underegineering vehicle parts for years for the purpose of future parts and vehicle sales. This approach is a major reason they are in the mess that they are in. The government, instead of throwing more billions at them needs to hold them accountable, especially in an instance like this where me and my families safety has been compromised.

My driver's seat on my 2000 jeep grand cherokee has broke. The metal track underneath has sheared off in several spots and the hinge to recline the seat also has began tearing. The broken metal makes it possible for the seat on my jeep to slide from side to side and to also slide forward and back. The broken metal on the hinge also digs into my side and I have to cover it with a leather glove to keep it from drawing blood. More importantly though is the fact that the seat moves and is not safe when driving, even if just driving on a city street, because it is not secure and you never know when it is going to give out and shift, causing you to stop paying attention to the road so that you can try to fix the problems with you seat. I really think that this should be repaired as I have seen many people having similar problems. In fact, in order to keep the seat from sliding back into the rear seat, I have installed my own safety features - I have place a cooler in the rear seat and the head of a sledgehammer underneath the seat to support the seat and to keep it from sliding back any further. I find this to work well as far as keeping my seat from moving, however it should not come to this.

I own a 2000 jeep grand cherokee, with 150,000 miles on it. While driving home from work on july 21st the outboard forward support for the driver's seat gave way. I immediately pulled over and looked the seats underside thoroughly and noticed the forward element of the seat had indeed broken between the seat itself, and the track on which the seat rides. I jarred my back making a left turn when the element of the seat gave way, and it left me wondering how a vehicle could have a seat whose support structure design allows for failure of an element critical to the safety of the driver or passenger.
The driver's seat of my vehicle has developed a squeak. When I took it to the dealer they were not sure if the bolts securing the seat have loosened or the welds have cracked.

My ventilation system is in the process of failing. I have a loud creating sound coming from underside my dash. When I turn on the system, it doesn't always heat/cool the way it is supposed to. Sometimes the heat comes on, sometimes the cool comes on when the other is chosen. Sometimes if it's supposed to be on the floor its on the defroster. Also, the drivers side seat heater acts up but mostly it doesn't work.
Dt*: the contact stated the locking mechanism for the front left seat failed causing the seat to slide backwards while driving 40 MPH. The service dealer was notified but not the manufacturer.
The left side of the driver's seat became disengaged from the floor mount because a 2 1/2 " section of the metal seat frame including the mounting bolt fractured and broke away from the frame so that the 2 1/2" section and the bolt are still attached to the floor mount, but the seat is not. I requested that the manufacturer replace or repair as a safety issue, but both the dealer and the manufacturer said it was beyond the warranty period and they could not. They failure appears to be from metal fatigue. The seat has never been subjected to unusual stress or weight. I am the only driver and weigh ~180 lbs. The car has never been in an accident that would have put additional force against the seat. The seat just stuck one day so you could not move the seat forward or back, and the seat began to squeak which apparently was due to the frame containing the mounting bolt breaking.
Dt*: the contact stated the left front driver seat wobbled from side to side as though it was not secure while driving at various speeds.

The consumer investigated the noise further and found that the bolt was coming through the bracket. The consumer was on the federal safety agency website and found that there were other complaints on this issue. The consumer was taking the jeep in for repairs tomorrow.
