The bolt broke on the driver's side seat. I had it replaced and I would like the car manufacture to reimburse me. Several Jeep owners have posted on this issue. For the 2001 Jeep front seat bolt recall, it is important to note that there is no specific recall for the front seat bolts. However, there have been complaints regarding the stability and safety of the front seats in the 2001 Jeep Cherokee. Complaints: Many owners have reported issues with the front seat frame breaking, causing the seat to become unstable or wobbly. 1 Safety Concerns: These issues have raised safety concerns, as they could lead to serious accidents if the seat is not secure. 1

I CALLED JEEP, THEY STATED THAT VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF CURRENT RECALL. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REPAIR BOTH DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SEAT WARMER SYSTEM THAT WAS NO LONGER WORKING, AND HASN'T WORKED FOR YEARS. I DISCOVERED THAT THE FACTORY INSTALLED HEATED SEATS HAD APPARENTLY SHORTED OUT AND CAUSED THE FOAM CUSHION IN THE PASSENGER SEAT TO CATCH FIRE. I HAVE NOT CHECKED DRIVERS SEAT YET. THE WIRING HAD BURNED A HOLE APPROXIMATELY 4 INCHES LONG AND 1-2 INCHES DEEP. FORTUNATELY, THE FIRE DID NOT SPREAD FAR WITHIN THE SEAT. UPON DOING AN ONLINE SEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. JEEP REPAIRED THE HEATERS 2-3 TIMES WITHIN THE FIRST 5 YEARS AND THEY WOULD STOP WORKING WITHIN 2 YEARS, IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE TO CONTINUALLY HAVE THEM REPAIR. *TR
