Default is my Jeep falling apart?

07 2dr X. First my parking brake has to be pulled up to max elevation to maybe work. Then my passenger seat doesn't slide forward when it tilts forward(yes I'm using the right level). The guys at the dealership said" Did it do it before?" I then had to take them to a jeep on the lot and show them. Now when i put the back seat up the left side head rest comes out of the seat, brackets and all. Mechanically alls good so far but this stuff is annoying.

jimmy73, don't listen to this a$$hole. He's got a bug up his butt about his JK, so he goes out looking for threads of people who are having problems and sees it as an opportunity to bash Jeep. Probably didn't get his "bling" package that he was promised at the dealer. Anyway, if this dealer can't fix your vehicle, try another one. I know that is difficult sometimes, but in the long run it could be worth it! Just my .02

my parking break has to pulled up all the way on any kind of hill. The front seat doesnt slide forward much so i would say put it all the way back and try again and just to clarify you are using the level that sits vertical not horoizontal correct? Just checking

I see your in Columbus, GA. I am down there almost every other weekend. Know any places to wheel? I know 2 local spots and i wheel with a club down there, Havoc.

relax, buddy. He has every right to bash the jeep because he is speaking from his personal experience. Just because he quite possibly got a lemon or had to deal with a bad dealer and is venting here doesn't make him an a$$hole.

Brinksjeep, some folks here are right though... If the thing is giving you problems why not trade it in for a newer one, fight with the dealer/Chrysler to fix the problem (just like your hero firefighter ), or get another vehicle from a different manufacturer (I personally never had problems with toyotas ). I know you paid good money for the jeep, but sometimes you just gotta cut the ties, count your losses and move on...
