I'm pretty sure this has been posted before. Got a 18 jl 2dr wrangler,40k miles front seat has probably been moved twice since I have owned it. Dealer informed me seat carrier has to be replaced 648 bucks. This has been a Jeep issue for awhile,can't believe they haven't come up with better carrier.

@WestKY

Ok, but 95% of people that have posted here that seat could not be folded back.... well, it was just the "seat return insert" that broke..

Ok, so you actually saw for yourself, that a weld broke on the seat frame......

.... unless the stealership is clueless ... or just blowing smoke up your arse..

I'd want to see the broken weld.

Yes was there when seat was removed. Part of the carrier has separated.

Ok.... well, at 40,000 mi.. your are just over the 36,000 mile warranty ....

What you might want to do, is contact Dedicated Jeep Customer Care: Ph. 1-866-362-2146.

Ask that they open a case and assist you .... Tell them you are a dire hard Jeep guy and respectfully request that FCA help you out on the repair costs.

You might be pleasantly surprised when they say ok, and pay for the repair as a "one time good will gesture.".. IF, if they say they cannot pay ask if they will at least meet you half way, and pay 1/2.

There is a good chance the rep will do something for you... Other's have been assisted in cases like yours.... Just be polite and ask they please help you.

Remember, if you don't ask, you don't get.. DO, make the call.
The worst case is they say they cannot help you...

Even if you already paid the dealer, FCA will still reimburse you... It is best to call the rep before the dealer does the repair but this is not a must...
