Description of the problem	(relating to the driver-side seat only) my daughter and i was waiting at a traffic stop, (i was driving) when the light turn green i pressed on the accelerator and my entire seat including myself swung back. Because of the backward momentum, it causes me to abruptly press further on the accelerator. I was able to regain control of the vehicle and pull on the side to inspect the seat. I found that the two front brackets under the seat had broken off. Since i had adjustable power seat, i lower the seat to align the broken brackets to wedge under the bar causing the seat to stabilize or at least hold in a semi-solid position. I called chrysler and they said they could not do anything about it since the vehicle was out of warranty. I argued that this is an unusual incident where i have never heard that the driver-side seat brackets would break off and possibly cause an accident. Especially for a jeep, this vehicle is meant to be driven on and off road. Again, they said that there was nothing that they could do. This is a design flaw and should be address before someone gets seriously injured.
