I HAVE A 2004 GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. TODAY WHILE GETTING INTO MY JEEP, MY DRIVERS SEAT FRAME BROKE. LOOSE IN THE FRONT LEFT CORNER. NOW MY DRIVER SEAT ROCKS WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE OR GIVE GAS. WOW, THANK THE LORD I WAS NOT DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS TO SEE IF THEY WILL ASSIST WITH REPAIR EVEN THOUGH I HAVE 70,000 MILES OF USE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE YET NO RECALLS ARE PERFORMED. IT'S GOING TO COST ME ROUGHLY $700.00 TO GET THIS FIXED.

WHEN PREPARING TO GO THROUGH A CAR WASH, I WAS GIVEN AN ANNOUNCEMENT RELATING TO SUDDEN ACCELERATION RELATING TO "SOME JEEP AND TOYOTAS". BEING A JEEP OWNER, I CONTACTED A JEEP DEALER. THEY HAVE HEARD NOTHING OF THIS AND DO NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR IT. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION TWICE.. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) MY DRIVER SEAT TRACK BROKE FOR MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ON THE RIGHT SIDE NEXT TO THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. IT SNAPPED IN HALF AND WHILE RESEARCHING ON THE WEB I FOUND A WEBSITE THAT EVERYONE ELSE IS VOICING THERE CONCERN. MY SEAT IS SWAYING SIDE TO SIDE AND WHEN I AM DRIVING MY SEAT LEANS BACK FAR. WHEN CALLING THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THIS IS NOT A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT IT WILL COST ME BETWEEN 600-800 TO FIX. THIS IS UPSETTING WHEN I CAN WELD IT TOGETHER, BUT WHEN I GET IN A ACCIDENT WILL THAT HOLD? IT IS A TERRIBLE PRODUCT AND THE METAL SHOULD HAVE BEEN STRONGER AND THICKER.

I TOOK THE JEEP TO HAYES CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A POWER STEERING PUMP AND PRESSURE LINE AND A POWER STEERING GEAR BOX. THE TOTAL QUOTE IS $1601.00--I COULD NOT AFFORD THAT SO I TOOK IT TO MIDAS AND THEY ADVISED ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART AND JEEP SHOULD REPLACE THE PART FREE OF CHARGE. I PULLED THE RECALL NOTICE AND IT DOES STATE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND IT WOULD BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER AND ALSO CHRYSLER THAT MY VN # WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST....I AM VERY UPSET BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS DOING THE SAME THING AS STATED IN THE RECALL BUT SINCE MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT LISTED THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING.
