WINDOW DROPPED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND WOULD NO LONGER ROLL UP....PULLED IT UP AND TAPED IT.....TOOK TO JEEP DEALERSHIP.....TOTAL COST TO REPAIR IS $650.00..... SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED 4 YEARS AGO, BUT VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THAT TIME. I GUESS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO JEEPS. MINE IS A 2004. A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE ON THIS PLASTIC CLIP FAULT!!!!! *TR

2004 GRAND CHEROKEE SPECIAL EDITION. STICKING GAS PEDAL, BOTH ACCELERATION AND TO ACCELERATE. TODAY MY GAS PEDAL STUCK WIDE OPEN FULL THROTTLE. I HAD TO PRESS AS HARD AS POSSIBLE ON BRAKES ... CAR DIS NOT COMPLETELY STOP UNTIL I THREW THE MOVING VEHICLE INTO PARK AND TURN THE KEY OFF. IT REMAINED STUCK WIDE OPEN FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES AND THEN UNSTUCK. I HAD 4 CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED ON AN EMPTY WIDE OPEN ROAD. THIS COULD GAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHIC EVENT WITH MANY INJURIES. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SEAT BROKE OFF AT FRAME. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A SOLUTION BY JEEP TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE NO PARTS EITHER NEW OR USED AVAILABLE TO MAKE REPAIRS. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. *KB

STOPPED AT A LIGHT, WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN, ACCERATED, DRIVER SEAT ROCKED BACKWARD AND FELT LOOSE. ON EXAMINATION FRONT LEFT BRACKET ON FRAME HAD BROKEN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THIS THIS CAR, SEARCHED ON-LINE TO FIND MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS HAPPENING. HAD IT WELDED. ABOUT 6MOS LATER REAR BRACKET BROKE IN SAME WAY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO THE DRIVER, MUST HOLD ON WHEN SEAT MOVES IN THIS WAY. DON'T KNOW WHY JEEP WILL NOT FIX AT THERE COST. THEY SAY THER IS NO RECALL. THERE SHOULD BE ONE.

JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SUDDEN AND UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION: APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION TO STOP, I HAD TAKEN MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND HAD THE BRAKE COVERED. AS THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SURGED (5000RPM +) AND LURCHED FORWARD UNCONTROLLABLY INTO THE INTERSECTION. THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP IT OR RESTRAIN IT. I IMMEDIATELY HIT THE SHIFT HANDLE INTO NEUTRAL AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. IT REVVED, THEN IDLED, ALBEIT ROUGHLY (IDLE RANGING FROM 900RMP TO 1400RPM). THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA... BUT IT DID SHAKE ME UP. IF IT HAD HAPPENED TO A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER SOMEONE MAY HAVE BEEN BADLY HURT OR KILLED. *TT

THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,500.

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT MOUNTING BRACKET BROKE ON ENTRY TO VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED THE SEAT TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING ESPECIALLY DURING TURNS. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SEAT TRACK WAS ALSO BROKEN. THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A REPLACEMENT TRACK SO FAR BECAUSE JEEP NO LONGER MAKES THE PART. I WAS TOLD THAT IT CAN'T BE WELDED BECAUSE OF LIABILITY ISSUES. THEY ESTIMATE THE COST TO REPAIR AT $300+ IF THE PART CAN BE FOUND. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE LATELY AND I'M FORCED TO PAY FOR A DESIGN DEFECT. *TR

BLEND DOORS CONTINUES TO RUN AFTER CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. *TR

INCREASED STEERING EFFORT, STEERING STUTTERING/BINDING- STEERING IS DIFFICULT WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEED- OCCURS ALL THE TIME. REPLACED POWER STEERING GEAR, REBUILT 278414/NATL[R]. *TR

2004 JEEP OVERLAND DUEL CLIMATE CONTROL NOT OPERATING PROPERLY *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 WINDOW REGULATORS BECAUSE OF A DEFECT. IT HAS COST ME OVER $1200.00 FOR ALL 4 TO BE REPLACED OVER TIME. IT SEEMS STRANGE TO ME THAT ALL 4 HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE PART COST OVER $325.00 JUST FOR THE PARTS NOT COUNTING THE LABOR . THE WINDOW JUST SUDDENLY FALLS DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY ROLLED UP. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND IT HAS BEEN TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF. I WOULD LIKE TO BE RE-IMBURSED FOR ALL OF MY EXPENSED CONSIDERING THIS CANNOT BE A FLUKE SINCE ALL 4 HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED AND NO ONE EVER SITS IN THE BACK SO IT HAS NOT BEEN WORN OUT FROM USE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAID THIS IS JUST AND ISSUE WITH JEEPS AND THEY ALWAYS KEEP A LARGE AMOUNT OF REGULATORS ON HAND. I THINK THIS IS JUST A WAY FOR JEEP TO MAKE MONEY ON PARTS AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE SINCE THE PARTS ARE JUST A PIECE OF PLASTIC AND COST OVER 300.00 PER WINDOW AND WE HAVE TO HAVE OUR WINDOWS FIXED. I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED TO SEE IF I CAN PURSUE A CLAIM TO BE RE-IMBURSED FROM JEEP. *TR

I WAS BACKING MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WHEN I HEARD A SNAP AND THEN THE FRONT SEAT STARTED WOBBLING BACK AND FORTH. I PULLED BACK INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND THAT'S WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I NOTICED THE METAL THAT CONNECTS THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAD COMPLETELY SNAPPED. IT WAS A BLESSING THAT I WAS NOT TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED OR WAS FAR FROM HOME, I WOULD HATE TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND UNCOMMANDED THROTTLE PEDAL MOVEMENT. CAR WAS IN DRIVE AT A STANDSTILL ON A SLIGHT GRADE, DRY PAVEMENT. THROTTLE TOOK OFF UNCOMMANDED. DRIVERS FOOT CENTERED ON BRAKE PEDAL. DRIVER NOTICED THROTTLE PEDAL WAS MOVING UNCOMMANDED. PEDAL APPEARED DEPRESSED ABOUT AN INCH THEN RETURNED TO IDLE POSITION THEN BACK DOWN ABOUT AN INCH. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THROTTLE PEDAL RETURNED TO IDLE POSITION. BRAKE HELD BACK ANY VEHICLE MOVEMENT DURING EPISODE. CRUISE CONTROL WAS OFF. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS ISSUE OCCURRED. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE DEFECT. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT BRACKET HAS BROKEN CAUSING SEAT TO SEVERELY ROCK. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED BY A WELDER OR REPLACED. CURRENTLY HOLDING TOGETHER WITH A HOSE CLAMP. *TR

2004 GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME SINCE 2004 REPLACING THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT SEAT. IT BROKE IN 2008 AND AGAIN IN 2011. THE SEAT STARTS TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH LIKE ITS LOOSE AND THERE IS NO WAY TO TIGHTEN THE SEAT.. SO YOU HAVE TO SIMPLY LIVE WITH IT, VERY UNSAFE IN MY EYES. IF I WAS IN A ACCIDENT I THINK THE SEAT WOULD SNAP OFF AND I WOULD BE GREATLY INJURED! *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT OF MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BROKEN FOR UNKNOWN REASONS AND , WITHOUT HOMEMADE, PATCHWORK BRACING, FLOPS BACK LIKE A RECLINER. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GET THIS REPAIRED BOTH THROUGH OUR LOCAL DEALER AND THROUGH CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND THEY CLAIM THAT THEY CANNOT SECURE THE PART; WE WERE FIRST TOLD BY THE DEALER WE HAD TO PREPAY FOR THE PART, DID SO, AND THEN THEY REPORTED BACK WEEKS LATER THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PART. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR FINANCIAL SITUATION DOES NOT ALLOW US TO SIMPLY PARK THE VEHICLE AND MAKE DUE. THIS IS TRULY AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT YOU CAN OFFER. *TR

THE SEAT BRACKETS FOR THE DRIVER'S SEAT ON MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAVE SNAPPED. THIS CAUSES THE SEAT TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH WHEN ACCELERATING OR BREAKING. WILL COST BETWEEN 500-800 TO HAVE THE BRACKETS REPLACED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW OPENED AND FELL INTO THE DOOR PANEL WITHOUT ENGAGEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE SHE WAS ADVISED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE EXACT SAME FAILURE RECURRED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW WITHIN MONTHS. THE PASSENGER WINDOW WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,590.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V117000 (SEATS: FRONT ASSEMBLY: SEAT HEATER/COOLER). THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO EXHIBIT SEVERAL ELECTRICAL FAILURES WITHIN THE TURN SIGNALS, HAZARD LIGHTS AND THE HEATER FAN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE THE ELECTRICAL WINDOW MOTOR, TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD LIGHT ELECTRICAL SENSORS WERE REPLACED. THE HEATER FAN WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 71,058.

PASSENGER SEAT HEATER ELEMENT GOT WAY TO HOT AND THE SEAT STATED SMOKING. I SEEN THE RECALL SO I CALLED GAVE THEM THE VIN AND WAS TOLD THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. *TR

WIRING HARNESS LOCATED BETWEEN FRONT DOOR AND FRAME INSIDE RUBBER TUBING IS MADE OF INFERIOR MATERIALS AND CRACKS WITH TIME EXPOSING WIRING CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. SPECIFICALLY, THE BLACK NEUTRAL WIRE AND ORANGE WIRES HAVE BEEN CRACKING ON DOZENS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES (AS SEEN HERE: HTTP://AUTOFORUM.CLASSIFIEDS1000.COM/JEEP-GRAND_CHEROKEE/04_JEEP_GRAND_CHEROKEE_ELECTRICAL_PROBLEM). WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE WIRING BECOMES EXPOSED AND/OR BREAKS. IN MY CASE WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CONTROLS CEASED TO OPERATE CAUSING THE WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS TO BE UNRESPONSIVE. IN ADDITION THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO TURN ON WHEN THE HEADLAMPS ARE ON CAUSING DIFFICULTY DRIVING IN NIGHT TIME CONDITIONS. FINALLY, THIS FAULT MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LIGHT TO FAIL WHEN HEADLAMPS ARE ON. THIS ISSUE CAN BE TEMPORARILY CORRECTED BY SPLICING THE EXISTING WIRING HARNESS. HOWEVER, A MORE PERMANENT SOLUTION WOULD BE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS AS OTHER WIRES COULD DETERIORATE. *TR

NO POWER TO WINDOWS, LOCKS AND MIRRORS ON DOORS. THERE IS A WIRE ON THE INSIDE OF THE DRIVERS DOOR THAT SPLITS IN HALF FOR NO REASON PREVENTING ANYTHING ON THE DOORS TO WORK. I CANNOT OPEN ANY WINDOWS, UN/LOCK ANY DOORS, OR ADJUST MY MIRRORS. THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED BUT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

WE HAVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT HAS HAD AN ONGOING FAILURE IN THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. OVER 10 TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP REPAIR FACILITIES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS PARTS REPLACED (BLENDING DOORS, VALVES ETC) AND THE FAILURE IS STILL THERE. THE A/C SYSTEM DOES NOT PRODUCE AIR AT THE TEMP THAT IS SELECTED, AND MOST OF THE TIME WILL BLOW HOT ON ONE SIDE AND COLD ON THE OTHER OR THE OTHER WAY AROUND. THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP THE MANAGER SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG, AND WHEN MY WIFE DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE MANAGER, THERE WAS BURNING HOT AIR COMING OUT OF THE VENT, THE MANAGER SAID THAT WAS NORMAL. NOTHING THEY HAVE DONE HAS FIXED THE PROBLEMS AND WE ARE READY TO SUE THEM TO RECOUP OUR MONEY. *TR

FAILURE OF HEATING SYSTEM COMPONENTS - BLEND DOORS. REGARDLESS OF TEMPERATURE SELECTED AND FAN OUTPUT, DESIGN FLAW IN BLEND DOORS OF HEATING SYSTEM CAN RESULT IN NO HEAT INCLUDING NO WAY TO DEFROST / DEFOG THE FRONT WINDSHIELD, IMPEDING DRIVER'S ABILITY TO SEE IN COLD WEATHER. FAULTY PLASTIC PARTS BREAK. APPARENTLY THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH MANY JEEP MODELS / YEARS BUT NO RECALL EVER ISSUED. COST IN EXCESS OF $1,500 TO REPAIR ESTIMATED. *TR

FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT HAS BROKE AT 3 SEPARATE PARTS REQUIRED WELDING TO REPAIR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY SEAT COMPLETELY BROKE, THROWING ME TOWARDS THE BACK SEAT. THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND THAT NO ONE WAS COMING DOWN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE. WHY WOULD A SEAT FAIL LIKE THAT??? THE CAR IS PRETTY MUCH NOT DRIVABLE NOW BECAUSE THE SEAT IS COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF THE BASE. THIS IS CRAZY!!!

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH A RECALL FOR FRONT SEAT ELECTRIC HEATING ELEMENTS. CONSUMER EXPRESSED DISCONTENT WITH ONE DEALERSHIP AND WAS VERY CONTENT WITH THE WORK DONE BY A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. *KB THE FIRST DEALERSHIP STATED THEY HAD THE PARTS, BUT WHEN THE CONSUMER ARRIVED, SHE WAS INFORMED THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. *JB

THERE ARE TWO ISSUES, ONE BEING THE ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE DYING ONCE THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO A FORWARD OR REVERSE POSITION FROM EITHER REVERSE OR DRIVE POSITION. SECOND IS THE ISSUE OF THE VEHICLE SURGING FORWARD JUST PRIOR TO STOPPING. THE ENGINE WILL REV UP JUST PRIOR TO STOPPING AND START A HARD BUT LOAD RUMBLING DUE TO THE BRAKES BEING HELD AND THE VEHICLE WANTING TO DRIVE FORWARD. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY REPAIR SHOP TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE, AND IT IS VERY WEARING OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS ISSUE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

2004 GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER STATES PULSE MODULE PROBLEM. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT CEASED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD PLUG CONNECTOR. THEY REPAIRED THE CONNECTOR BY CLEANING AND RE-INSTALLING THE PINS AT A COST OF $170.00. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE UNIT ONCE AGAIN CEASED TO FUNCTION. THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAD TO WIGGLE THE PLUG IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK AND IT ONLY WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED A REPAIR KIT WAS AVAILABLE WITH REPLACEMENT PARTS. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THEY WOULD SHIP THE PARTS TO HIS HOMETOWN. IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2 MONTHS FOR THE PARTS TO ARRIVE ONLY AFTER NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS. UPON INSPECTING THE MALFUNCTIONING PARTS, THE CONSUMER FOUND THAT THEY WERE BADLY BURNED AND THE WIRES WERE MELTED. *JB

THE WINDOWS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. WHEN WE PULLED INTO THE GARAGE WE NOTICED SPARKS NEAR THE DOOR HINGE. TWO FACTORY WIRES WERE BROKEN AND MAKING CONTACT, WHICH WAS CAUSING THE ARCING. A JEEP MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS DEFECT, AND THAT HE HAS SEEN AT LEAST 2 A MONTH WITH THIS DEFECT. IF ANY FUMES FROM THE FUEL WERE PRESENT YOU WOULD HAVE A FIRE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE SURGED AND IT WOULD INCREASE 500 RPMS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE WAS 77,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 88000.

ON DECEMBER 12, 2010 AT OR AROUND THE HOUR OF 9:30 P.M. CENTRAL TIME I WAS INVOLVED IN A ONE VEHICLE ROLL OVER ACCIDENT DUE TO POOR ROAD CONDITIONS IN MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I WAS THE SOLE INDIVIDUAL IN THE VEHICLE, AND AFTER THE ACCIDENT I FOUND MYSELF IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS HOWEVER BUCKLED IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AT THE START OF THE ACCIDENT. I SUSTAINED A SERIOUS CONCUSSION AND BRUISING TO MY LEFT SHOULDER AND HIP FROM THE SEAT BELT, AS WELL AS OTHER VARIOUS INJURIES. THE FAILURE OF THE SEAT BELT IS MY CONCERN. THE SEAT BELT FAILED DURING THE ACCIDENT IN SOME WAY. *TR

LIGHTS WENT HAYWIRE IN THE CAR AS WELL AS THE LOCKS ON THE WINDOWS AND DOORS I.E., ALL OF THE LOCKS DO NOT WORK ON WITH THE REMOTE, THE SIDE MIRRORS DON'T MOVE, AND THE WINDOWS DO NOT MOVE UP OR DOWN. AFTER THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DIM TO WHERE THEY CANNOT BE SEEN. FROM AN INTERNET SEARCH, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT COST $275 TO REPAIR. I TOOK MY CAR IN TODAY FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD $112 TO LOOK AT THE CAR THAT COULD BE USED TOWARDS THE COST OF THE REPAIR. ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET SEARCH THE PROBLEM WILL BE FROM A DAMAGED WIRE IN THE DOOR THAT WILL NEED TO BE REPAIRED/REPLACED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE SEATS, FRONT ASSEMBLY SEAT HEATER/COOLER (09V117000). AFTER HAVING THE REMEDY REPAIR DONE, THE DRIVERS FRONT HEATED SEAT WAS INOPERABLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT WAS INOPERABLE; THEREFORE, THE HEATED SEAT ELEMENT WOULD NOT WORK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT WAS OPERATING CORRECTLY BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000.

SEAT MOUNT BRACKET FAILS UNDER NORMAL USE. FRONT SEAT DRIVERS SIDE MOUNT BRACKET BROKE AT 65K MILES UNDER LIGHT USE. LOOKING ONLINE IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A "NORMAL" THING CAUSING A DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION OF DRIVING IN A "ROCKING CHAIR". JEEP KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE YET THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT PART FOR UPGRADING AN OBVIOUS INFERIOR STRUCTURAL COMPONENT THAT IS INTEGRAL TO SAFE DRIVING. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO WITH 107,000 MILES. TODAY, 12/9/2010, THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BRACKET CAME LOOSE. I BELIEVE AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THAT IT IS A MOUNTING BRACKET. SOME OTHER JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS COMPLAINED OF THIS PROBLEM. THE SEAT NOW ROCKS WHEN I BRAKE AND ACCELERATE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I GET INTO A COLLISION THE SEAT WILL NOT BE LOCKED IN AND THE SEAT BELT WILL NOT FUNCTION. *TR
