1999 Jeep Laredo Interior & seats Problems

I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP IN TRAFFIC WHEN THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT DROPPED AT THE FRONT LEFT CORNER. THE WELD ON THE SEAT SNAPPED,AND NOW THE SEAT WOBBLES FROM FRONT LEFT TO BACK RIGHT, WORRIED THAT THE REST WILL BREAK WHEN IM DRIVING AND KILL SOMEONE OR MYSELF IN A BAD ACCIDENT. READ HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINS AND TO ME IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND SORT IT OUT BEFORE ITS TO LATE.THE JEEP DEALER DID NOT WANT TO KNOW. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP LAREDO. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT DETACHED FROM ITS PROPER POSITION AND RETRACTED BACKWARDS WITHOUT WARNING. THE SEAT WAS ABLE TO MOVE EXCESSIVELY, WHICH INCREASED THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR A CRASH. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER WELDED THE SEAT TO ITS PROPER POSITION BECAUSE THE MOUNTS WERE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A TECHNICIAN TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 150,000.

BRACKET TO THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT SNAPS. VERY DANGEROUS. HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. WHY THE SEAT BRACKETS HAVEN'T BEEN RECALLED IS A CRIME. WHAT'S MORE,THE DEALER WANTS OVER$1000 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE BRACKET! THIS ISN'T RIGHT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BORNE OUT OF POOR ENGINEERING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BY CHRYSLER BEFORE ANY POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS/FATALITIES OCCUR. *TR

06-10-2008 - THE LEFT FRONT BRACKET OF THE POWER SEAT MECHANISM TO SEAT FRAME CRACKED COMPLETELY THROUGH MAKING THE SEAT WOBBLE BADLY AND THE JEEP UNDRIVEABLE. THERE ARE 4 ROTATING BRACKETS AT THE CORNERS AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT WHEN IT BROKE, IT DIDN'T CAUSE A CRASH. AS THIS JUST HAPPENED, IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED YET. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE REPAIR WOULD PROBABLY BE REPLACING THE ENTIRE SEAT AT $ 1,000.00. THERE WERE NO UNUSUAL EVENTS THAT LED UP TO THIS FAILURE. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT ANY TIME FOR MORE INFORMATION. *TR

WE OWN A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LARADO AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK HAS GONE BAD YOU CAN LOCK ALL THE DOORS WITH THE REMOTE BUT HAVE TO LOCK THE DRIVERS SIDE BY HAND AND IT MAKES A LOUD BUZZING SOUND WHEN LOCKING & UNLOCKING. OUR TIRES HAD\VE ALREADY HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH ONLY 50,000 MILE ON THE VEHICLE THE IN DEC 2002 THE VEHICLE STARTING MAKING A LOUD WHINING SOUND WHEN REACHING SPEEDS OVER 45+ THE SOUND WOULD INCREASE UPON LETTING UP ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT INCREASING BECAME WORSE WHERE IT WOULD CONSTANTLY WHINBEALL THE TIME AT ALL SPEEDS AND ALSO WHEN COMPLETELY STOPPED. WE HAVE HAD TO KEEP TAKING IT BACK TO BE WORKED ON 3 TIMES SO FAR, THEY HAVE REPLACED THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION INCLUDING THE TORQUE CONVERTER, TRANSFER CASE , FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM AND THE NOISE STILL PERSIST. I HAVE DONE SO MUCH RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND SEE THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO DO A "[XXX]" THING ABOUT ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS OR THESE LEMON VEHICLES. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET THEIR HELP AND FOR THEM TO SEE THESE VEHICLES HAVE TOO MANY PROBLEMS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
