Driver seat frame broken. Regular driving just snapped temporary fix with a C clamp. Not safe, what good is having a seat belt on if your seat is not secure?

No event caused this failure. Car has not been in accident or misused ever. The drivers seat broke free from the sliders. Metal actually ripped around bolts. Caused seat to fall backward as I was driving. Currently have seat clamped to seat bracket as I look for new ones. Jeep swears its not a big problem as it made millions of Grand Cherokee. Seats can't be found in junk yards and thousands of complaints online. I wonder how many have been injured or died because of accidents caused by seat failure. Guess its hard to tell as I am sure failure of seat blamed on accident most of time.

I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4X4. About a year or more ago, my front driver's seat began to "wobble"... it was only a very minuscule amount at first, but has gradually increased in severity and is now a completely broken seat. The left side of the driver's seat can completely be lifted up on its side and is fully detachable. The brackets and seat mount under the seat have broken completely and the metal is snapped. This is a very serious problem as the driver seat may completely detach sporadically during operation. Visiting a body shop at the beginning of 2010 I was told that replacing the seat would cost at least $500 and that the most cost efficient method would be to consider a replacement seat from the junk yard. As I began searching around for seats, I began to notice a very strange pattern: All the Jeep's with my make and model from about 1999 to at least 2003 or 2004 had their front seats already missing within a matter of days upon their initial arrival to the junk yard. It was almost impossible to find a driver's seat that would fit my make and model because others around the country were. Confronted with this irony, I began to search online for remedies to my issue and to see if other consumers had faced similar problems with their Jeep. I was astonished and deeply disturbed to find their was a web page filled with comments from other consumers experiencing the same exact issue with the driver's seat and in some cases, the driver's seat had detached during vehicular operation (for example, while making right turns). These comments dated back to 2007 and majority of them, if not all, dealt with Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo from the year 2000. This is a major problem and there is a proven track record of this seat defect. The number of cases is too large to be irony. Please advocate for a recall on behalf of consumers who are facing this.

The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic and the mechanic referred the contact to the dealer. He then called the dealer and was advised that the driver seat would need replacing. The manufacturer was not contacted to report the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000 and the current mileage was 85,000.

Seat brackets under driver seat have broken, which causes seat to move when going around bends, getting in and out of seat. The way the bracket has broken, the seat can physically be lifted up off the floor. We removed the seat, there is only 1 of the 4 brackets not broken, so if the last one would break the seat could tip over or fall backwards or forwards. If you would go around a bend, you would either hit up against the door or against the console depending on which direction you turn. If you would have to slam on the brakes the seat would fly forward into the steering wheel. We have fixed the seat once by rewelding the brackets, and they broke again, so we now have completely replaced the seat with a seat from a different Jeep. After the initial repair, it took about a year for it to break again.

Drivers seat apparently cracks, starts squeaking, wobbles and then breaks. I have taken it to be welded three times now and each time it lasts from a couple of months to a couple of years before the problem occurs again. It has now broken for the forth time. Electric seat motor also fails to lift the seat under its own power without helping by pulling the seat forward while selecting the seat forward position on the seat motor control.

Without any prior signs, the frame on the underside of the front seat my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee broke. It appears that the metal near the bolt was weak and simply snapped. After searching online, it appears that this is a common problem. Fortunately I haven't had the problem with the seat turning into a rocking chair yet but I fear that it is inevitable. This vehicle has less than 50,000 miles on it and has never been used for anything more than normal everyday driving. I find it disgusting that the manufacturer has not done a recall on an issue that ranges for a number of model years and is instead forcing us to pay to make our cars minimally safe. When you purchase a car, you don't expect the metal in it to just break!

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee ltd. Is riddled with safety problems. Chief among them is the drivers side seat frame. Bottom part of the seat frame has busted in several places. This is a serious matter and daimler/Chrysler should be held accountable. New seats are not easy to find and if you can find one the price is astronomically outrageous.

The tabs that hold my driver's side seat to the track assembly on my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo have completely broken. The dealership quoted $500+ to fix their faulty product. The incident happened while merging onto I-75 near atlanta and I wound up laying in my back seat. I know that I am not alone in this issue as I have checked several forums and junk-yards all of whom report the it as a common occurrence. Chrysler's chosen viewpoint of not fixing a severe safety concern is unacceptable.

The metal frame holding the driver's seat in place broke in two places.

About six months ago, I heard a snap and felt the right side of my driver's seat in my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo become loose and wobble. Today, 10/17/ 2010, as I exited my Jeep I heard another snap and discovered that the bolts connecting my seat to the vehicle had broken. The seat is completely disconnected from the vehicle. I weigh 185 lbs and have been the owner of the vehicle since August 2004. The safety issue has not yet been repaired. If there were an accident, it is possible that I along with the seat could be ejected from the vehicle.
