Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 1996 jeep cherokee and the sheet metal that connects the drivers seat to the adjustable track under the seat is tearing and coming lose. i feel that this is a extreme safety hazard which could lead to an accident and further increased injury during that accident when the seat becomes disengaged from its anchoring points. while the jeep is 7.5 years old, i am only 5ft 10in 195lbs and do not think that the metal should be tearing. this being a safety issue i felt i should contact jeep before taking action myself so if necessary jeep could have the vehicle inspected and see if they had any concerns that needed to be dealt with. i have contacted jeep staff from a local dealership all the way up to susan at chrysler corp customer service (incident # 12175350) without luck in having my safety related issue addressed. *ak
