MY 2001 JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO FRONT DRIVER SEAT BROKE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO REPLACE THE SEAT AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND ONE. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE SEAT BROKE LUCKILY I HAD BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTLY AND SITTING COMPLETELY STRAIGHT OR I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR. IT IS SO WIDESPREAD THAT SEVERAL DIFFERENT BODY SHOPS AND JUNK YARDS HAVE TOLD ME THEY BREAK SO OTHER THEY NEVER CAN GET ONE INTACT. I HAVE LOOKED FOR OEM PARTS WHICH IS MY FIRST CHOICE AND HAVE FOUND THIS ITEM NOT AVAILABLE IT. THE BRACKET UNDER THE SEAT IS NOT VERY SUPPORTIVE AND SEEMS TO BE VERY POORLY MADE(THIN METAL) I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT I GREW UP AROUND SEVERAL.

FOR THE PAST YEAR MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO LIMITED HAS BEEN OVERHEATING IF WE IDLE FOR MORE THAN 1-2 MINUTES. AS LONG AS THE RPMS DON'T GO OVER 2000 IT WILL HAPPEN. I WENT ON A TRIP LAST MAY UP A CANYON. DROVE ABOUT 50 MILES TO THE CANYON AND ALL WAS FINE. WHILE GOING UP THE CANYON SPEEDS STAYED BELOW 20 MPH BECAUSE WE WERE FOLLOWING MY IN-LAWS AND THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF DUST THE AC WAS OFF I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT THE TEMPERATURE GAGE WAS RAISING. WHEN I NOTICED IT, I GUESS IT WAS TOO LATE. I STOPPED THE JEEP AND HOPED THAT IT WOULD COOL DOWN. AS I LIFTED THE HOOD. THE TOP POPPED OF THE COOLANT RESERVOIR AND SPRAYED COOLANT EVERYWHERE. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM BECA
