Consumer Description

WHILE ACCELERATING, HEARD A "SNAP" UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT. THIS POWER SEAT NOW HAS A ROCKING MOTION WHEN ACCELERATING OR SLOWING DOWN. CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUND COUNTLESS NUMBER OF BLOGS AND COMMENTS ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM, WITH SOME SAYING THEIR SEAT IS ACTUALLY SLIDING BACK AND FORTH ON THE SEAT RAILS. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, WARRANTING SOME RECALL OR REMEDY BY CHRYSLER. IF THIS SEAT CAN SLIDE FREE IN A HARD ACCELERATION OR EMERGENCY STOP, THIS COULD CREATE ACCIDENT OR SEVERE INJURY. THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER ! *TR
