I have already had this replaced, at a direct expense to me, due to the concern. Jeep has a Technical Service Bulletin (S2023000009) about the passenger seat. It began as a popping/knocking noise in the butt/inside of the seat.

Both side seat release levers to let passengers in and out of the back seat keep breaking. Fast Google search online shows it is a wide spread two door issue. This is a major safety issue as it make egress hard making passengers need to climb over center console.

Jeep is less than 12 months old and the stitching in the middle of the rear seat is missing. Have tried to tell the dealership that it is not "normal wear and tear". Nothing sits in the middle of the back seat.

The seat adjustment latch in the driver side. The quick release latch and the cabling associated with it locked up causing the seat to become unlatched and recline fully while vehicle was in motion. Seat also slid forward and back along the roll track unable to lock into position.

The rear seat latch does not fold down the backseats like it is supposed to. The head rest will fold down, but the actual seat will not.
