Consumer Description

THIS PROBLEM WITH THE POWER SEAT IS VERY UNSAFE AND IT IS A GOOD THING THAT I'M AM SOMEWHAT MECHANICALLY INCLINE AND THOUGHT TO PULL THE FUSE OUT JUST AS I COULD SEE THE SMOKE AND THE WHITE HARNESS UNDER THE SEAT WAS RED JUST READY TO IGNITE SO JUST PICTURE IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SOMEONE THAT IS NOT M.INCLINE AND WOULD NOT THINK OF PULLING THE FUSE I GUARANTEE A FIRE WOULD BREAK OUT UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT...I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MY WIFE AND 3YEAR OLD SON DRIVING IN THE TRUCK ALONE AND I GUARANTEE THAT SHE WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT TO PULL THE FUSE OUT OR THIS COULD HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE THAT HAS THE SAME TRUCK...ALSO I HAVE NOT TAKE THE TRUCK IN TO THE DODGE DEALER YET BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD A BIG REPAIR BILL ...THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR
