Driving home from a soccer game with 3 kids and myself in a 2002 Jeep. I was coming to a stop, when I lost control of the SUV. The frame of the Jeep broke from rust. The Jeep had the underside coated when it was purchased. Jeep did nothing to help solve this problem, and it had to go to the salvage yard. I will never own another Jeep product. My auto body shop said the other side was almost rusted through also, so repair cost would more than it would be worth. The only thing was that moments before the break, I was going 65 on a 2 lane highway and had it broke then I would have had a really bad accident.

My son's 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee driver's seat started wobbling and then completely broke loose from the frame. He is 240 lbs and was just driving normally. Over time... the wobbling gradually got worse. The seat completely broke loose as he was accelerating after waiting for a stop light. I removed the seat to see what was wrong and saw that both brackets that are welded to the front rod that runs parallel with the front of the drivers seat were cracked and the front bolt on the door side of the drivers seat ripped right through the flimsy metal bracket on the base of the seat. This structural defect is "life threatening." He almost fell backwards into the back seat. Had there been other cars coming at this intersection, he would not have been able to react. I checked the internet and saw that this seat/structural defect on Jeep goes back to 1999. How can the NHTSA and Jeep/Chrysler ignore this problem for years? this should be a safety recall. Jeep should be held responsible for fixing this problem now. Given all the blogs related to this issue... they sure won't win in court.
