The 1999-2004 jeep grand cherokee seat track has a weak point on the rear scissor assembly. When you start to notice a wobble or click it means one of the tiny connecting pieces has broken. Eventually the other side will also break allowing you to lift the entire seat up. The seat bracket that connects the seat to the floor of the jeep cracked. I started to do research and found out that this a very common issue and have caused many accidents.
