DRIVER SIDE FRONT SEAT FRAME BROKE ON 2001 JEEP CHEROKEE CAUSING SEAT BACK TO RECLINE ON ONE SIDE TOWARDS THE REAR. I OWN TWO IDENTICAL JEEP CHEROKEES AND IT HAPPENED TO BOTH OF THEM. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WEREN'T ANY RECALLS ON THIS. I THINK THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD VERY LIKELY CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. PLEASE REVIEW AND ADVISE. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE OWNED A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO FOR 7 YEARS AND IT HAS BEEN A GOOD CAR FOR ME. A YEAR AGO MY FRONT SEAT BROKE OFF OF THE SUPPORT BEAM AND IT IS MADE OF METAL. I ONLY WAY 180 LBS AND HAVE TAKEN PRETTY GOOD CARE OF THE CAR. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF JEEPS AND THEY USED CHEAP METAL TO SAVE MONEY. I WILL BE THE FIRST TO SAY I LOVE JEEP BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR ANYBODY RIDING IN ONE. I ONLY HOPE THEY DO NOT USE THIS METHOD IN NEWER MODELS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS RIDING AROUND IN A SEAT THAT IS NOT HOOKED TO THE CAR CORRECTLY. I HAD A FRIEND WELD THE SEAT BACK TO THE SUPPORT BUT IT WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX AS IT HAS BROKEN AGAIN. *TR

THE FRAME HOLDING THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS VERY FLIMSY AND HAS BROKEN IN 3 OF 4 PLACES HOLDING THE SEAT. THE 4TH LOCATION HAS NOT YET BROKEN ALL THE WAY THROUGH BUT A CRACK HAS BEGUN. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFELY DRIVABLE AND IS PARKED UNTIL I CAN FIND REPLACEMENT PARTS. MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHY HAS NOTHING BEEN DONE? THE PROBLEM STARTS AS A SQUEAK, THEN A CRACK, THEN THE SEAT IS TILTED AND ULTIMATELY THE BREAKS HAPPEN AT ALL 4 CORNERS OF THE SEAT FRAME. A CRACK AT ALL 4 CORNERS WILL ALLOW THE SEAT, AND THE DRIVER, TO FALL BACK TOO FAR TO REACH THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

IT'S VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND APPARENTLY THIS IS VERY COMMON ON THESE JEEPS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW JEEP CAN MAKE A VEHICLE WITH SUCH AN UNSAFE PART. IT REALLY SHOULD BE RECALLED.

APPROXIMATELY 5 YEARS AGO, THE HEAT STOPPED WORKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THEN LAST YEAR, THE HEAT AND A/C STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THIS MAKES FOR VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AS VISIBILITY IS GREATLY REDUCED AT TIMES. ITS TOO COSTLY FOR ME TO REPAIR MYSELF. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MOST OF THESE VEHICLES AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY SOMETHING HASN'T BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. ALSO, THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT HEATING ELEMENT STOPPED WORKING AFTER IT APPARENTLY SHORTED OUT, LUCKILY, NO FIRE OCCURRED. AND THE HYDRAULICS THROUGH OUT THE VEHICLE HAVE STOPPED WORKING AND I NOTICED THIS WHEN FIRST THE HOOD CAME DOWN ON MY HEAD AND THEN THE REAR WINDOW! I'VE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AND IT WAS DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THE COOLANT/HYDRAULIC FAN...AT A PRICE TAG OF $4000.00... *TR

2001 JGC DRIVER SEAT IS BROKEN. WHEN I TOOK MY JEEP IN TO HAVE REAR AXLE WORKED ON IT CAME BACK WITH THE DRIVER SEAT ROCKING BACK TO THE RIGHT AND FORWARD TO THE LEFT. THE MECHANIC SAYS HE DIDN'T DO IT BUT THAT THEY EVENTUALLY WEAR OUT LIKE THAT. I DON'T RECALL MY SEAT ROCKING BACK AND FORTH BEFORE I BROUGHT IT TO HIM. AFTER CHECKING WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER SEAT. IT MAKES DRIVING UNCOMFORTABLE AND I'M NOW NOTICING PROBLEMS WITH MY LOWER BACK AND HIP. *TR

I OWN A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO, AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT MOUNT HAS BROKEN, ALLOWING THE SEAT TO BE CONNECTED TO THE FLOORBOARD BY ONLY 2 CORNERS. THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE INCLUDE A NOISE COMING FROM THE SEAT WHILE SEATED IN IT, ESPECIALLY WITH WEIGHT SHIFTS DURING TURNS. THE SEAT IS NOW NOT SUPPORTED ON THE FRONT LEFT CORNER NOR THE BACK RIGHT CORNER. TO ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE FAILURE, I HAD A FRIEND TRY TO GLUE A PLATE ON THE FRONT LEFT CORNER TO HELP STABILIZE IT AGAINST THE FLOORBOARD MOUNT, BUT THE SAME WAS NOT DONE TO THE BACK RIGHT CORNER DUE TO THE PLACEMENT OF IT. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE INTO THE COST TO FIX THIS ISSUE, AND IT SEEMS IT WILL COST $600-$1000 TO REPLACE THE SEAT AND IT'S MOUNT. THE SEAT NOW TILTS INTO THE MIDDLE, AND THE PRESSURE OF THE SEAT ON THE SEAT BELT RECEIVER HAS NOW DESTROYED THE CENTER CONSOLE ALSO. IT IS ALSO APPARENT THAT THOUSANDS OF OTHER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS NOT A "NORMAL" REPAIR THAT A CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO FACE. JEEP/CHRYSLER REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. *TR
