2001 Jeep LaredoSeats & seat belts

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. I am still hoping to not have to give my jeep up because I can't find a seat. We also own a 1998 jeep cherokee limited and we have not had anywhere near the problems as we have had with the 2001 I seriously think the 2001-2003 were made poorly and jeep needs to step up and accept it and recall the problem items. I have already had headlamp, tail light and the gas tank recalls corrected on my jeep but next to the gas tanks blowing up in rear end collisions this is extremely dangerous and unacceptable. I have also by a private repair shop had the "jeep death wobble corrected" which I had not heard about until another person at the shop who had the same year jeep said I had this fixed about a year ago and he said if I really wanted to know how bad it was to google it after I did I didn't even want to drive my jeep. I love my jeep for many of its qualities but if I could afford to I would go get a different year jeep. I did not know this site was here until my brother told me so I wonder how many others are out there with the same problems and have not reported it. I am glad it is here I will definitely research my next vehicle on this site, unfortunately I am disabled
