PROBLEM WITH SEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. WHILE GETTING AN I.D. FROM THE REAR SEAT, A WELD, FROM A PIECE OF FLAT STOCK METAL, 1/8 INCH BY 1IN.X1 IN., DISCONNECTED. THIS CAUSE THE SEAT TO ROCK, BACK AND FOURTH. THE OTHER THREE BAR SECTIONS COULD ALSO, DETACH BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE AN EXTENDED COVERAGE BUT, I 'M TOLD IT'S NOT COVERED. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY, OVER $900.00 DOLLARS TO HAVE THIS FIX. THEY, THE DEALERSHIP, WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE UNDER SECTION, IN ORDER TO REMEMDY THE PROBLEM.THIS THIS IS NOT A NORMAL THING, I FEEL THAT HAPPENS.I'VE HAD A NUMBER OF CARS ETC., NEVER THIS PROBLEM. I'M TOLD, IT CAN'T BE REWELDED BACK IN PLACE. AND I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR AS IS.THE WHOLE SEAT COULD COME FLYING THROUGH THE FRONT GLASS. CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE?*AK

VEHICLE IS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH 61900 MILES. ONE BRAKE LINE FAILED AS A RESULT OF CORROSION AT TWO POINTS WHERE IT IS CLIPPED TO THE CAR'S FRAME. BRAKE PEDAL BECAME SOFT AND WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. IT WOULD NOT PUMP UP. *AK VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A FIRESTONE REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE FAILED BRAKE LINE WAS DISCOVERED. THE LINE WAS REPLACED. I HAVE THE OLD LINE. THIS IS A LIGHT USE VEHICLE AND IF I HAD THIS FAILURE, THERE ARE PROBABLY MANY OTHERS.

WHEN THE VEHICLE MAKES AROUND ABOUT TURNS WITH 1/2 TANK OF FUEL OR LESS IT WOULD EITHER HESITATE OR STALL INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE.*AK
