2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

SEAT HEATER WIRING INSIDE BOTH FRONT SEATS CRACKED AT SEAT HEATER ELEMENTS CAUSING ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE AND MELTING OF SEAT CUSHION MATERIAL SURROUNDING WIRING. THIS DEFECT WAS PREVIOUSLY ADDRESSED VIA SAFETY RECALL 09V11700 IN 2009. CHRYSLER CLAIMED MY VEHICLE HAD RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL, AND THE PARTS ARE ONLY WARRANTED FOR 2 YEARS. IF THIS IS TRUE, THE NEW PARTS HAVE THE SAME FIRE HAZARD AS THE OLD PARTS.

THE RECALL NUMBER IS N74 WHICH WAS TO HAVE THE REAR OF IT TO BE REANFORCED THEY TELL ME THIS IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND I WAS DRIVING AND THE GAS TANK FELL DOWN ALMOST FELL OFF BECAUSE THE GAS TANK STRAP BROKE WITCH THERE WAS ONLY ONE ON IT I WAS GOING 55 MPH FOR 7 MILES

FRONT DRIVER SEAT MOUNTING BRACKET/TRACK BREAK COMPLAINT: VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IN PARKED IN A PARKING LOT OF MY WORK. I WAS JUST GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE WHEN THE FRONT LEFT DRIVER SEAT BRACKET BROKE CAUSING THE SEAT TO IMMEDIATELY START ROCKING SIDE TO SIDE AND TOWARDS THE BACK. UPON INSPECTION THE BRACKET ITSELF FAILED AT A DESIGNED BEND IN THE BRACKET JUST BEFORE THE BRACKET ATTACHES TO THE SEAT POWER SLIDING BRACKET. MATERIAL APPEARS TO BE MADE OF 1/8" METAL PROBLEM: AFTER TIME THE BRACKET HOLDING THE DRIVER/PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEATS TO THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO CRACK AND BREAK LEAVING THE SEAT TO ROCK AND MOVE AS THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. THIS WILL LEAD TO THE SEAT POSSIBLY BECOMING DISCONNECTED FROM THE VEHICLE FRAME IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. FILE LABELED: LEFT BRKT-DRIVER SEAT - BROKEN - IS OF THE BROKEN BRACKET.THIS PART IS ON DRIVER SIDE TOWARDS THE DOOR. FILE LABELED: RIGHT BRKT-DRIVER SEAT - NRML - IS OF THE OPPOSITE BRACKET.THIS PART IS ON DRIVER SIDE TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SEAT.
