2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BROKEN DRIVERS SEAT. FRAME FOR SEAT HAS FAILED IN THREE PLACES. I AM 5'10" AT 180 LBS AND OF AVERAGE BUILD. I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND HAVE OWNED THE JEEP SINCE 2004. I HAVE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF THIS JEEP AND PROVIDED REGULAR MAINTENANCE SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THE SEAT FRAME CONNECTING TO THE FLOOR FAILED CAUSING THE SEAT TO BECOME UNSTABLE. I REPAIRED THE BRACKET WITH WELDING. A SECOND FAILURE OCCURRED BETWEEN THE FRAME WELD TO THE UPRIGHT SEAT SUPPORT CAUSING THE SEAT TO RECLINE UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED DURING OPERATION AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

THE HVAC SYSTEM ON OUR 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED HAS BROKEN AND IS UNABLE TO DIRECT AIR AT THE PROPER TEMPERATURE TO THE PROPER PLACES. THE DEFECT APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED DAMPERS IN THE DUCTWORK THAT HAVE FAILED. THIS PREVENTS OUR DEFROSTER FROM WORKING AS EFFECTIVELY AS IT SHOULD AND IS ALSO AN IRRITANT TO THE DRIVER WHEN IT'S 110 DEGREES OUTSIDE IN THE TEXAS HEAT. GOOGLING THE PROBLEM IDENTIFIES IT AS A COMMON BREAKAGE AND IS RELATED TO THE USE OF CHEAP PLASTIC MATERIALS IN THE DAMPER MECHANISM. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED AS PART OF A MANUFACTURERS RECALL CAMPAIGN. *TR
