| Description of the problem | 2004 jeep grand cherokee was damaged by a fire due to the safety recall f17. *nj the consumer stated the day he picked the vehicle up, the seats were still not functioning properly due to the fire damage to the wiring and module. The drivers seat was not reassembled correctly and the lumbar support hit the consumer in the center of his back. After a close examination at a local repair shop, the consumer was told there was no evidence the passenger seat recall was ever addressed. The following morning, the battery was dead, the parking and signal lights continued to burn out and periodically the dash lights and power windows did not work. It was determined that both seats had additional fires and internal heat damage. *jb |
