THE METAL SUPPORT UNDER THE SEAT CUSHION OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAS TWO EXTENSIONS THAT HOLD A PIVOT ENGAGING THE SEAT BACK SUPPORT. BOTH THE LEFT EXTENSION AND THE RIGHT EXTENSIONS ARE SHEARED OFF SO THAT THE SEAT BACK JUST FLOPS BACK,THE CAR CAN'T BE SAFELY DRIVEN BECAUSE OF THIS. DT

INSPECTION OF THE SEAT SLIDING RAILS AND THE STATIONARY RAILS ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE SEAT FOUND THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM. FOUR PIECES OF PLASTIC WERE FOUND ON THE FLOOR UNDER THE SEAT. THESE PIECES WERE 5 & 15/16" LONG AND APPROXIMATELY 1/4" THICK. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BACK OF THE SEAT COULD BE LIFTED APPROXIMATELY 1/4" IN THE UPWARD DIRECTION. THESE PIECES WERE BROKEN FROM A PIECE THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE SIDE OF THE STATIONARY SEAT RAIL BY 5 3/16" NUBS THAT ENGAGED MATCHING HOLES IN THIS STATIONARY RAIL. THIS WAS OBSERVED FROM THE REAR PASSENGERS AREA. THE PLASTIC PIECE WITH THE 5 NUBS IS 5 1/2" LONG AND HAS 5 TABS THAT SHOULD ATTACH TO THE AFORE MENTIONED PIECES. THIS WAS OBSERVED ON BOTH THE INBOARD AND OUTBOARD SEAT RAILS. THESE PIECES PROVIDE A SLIDING SURFACE AND A SPACER TO TAKE UP THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE MOVING SEAT...

#714615 | November 11, 1999

SEATS- AUTOMATIC SEATS. WHERE ANCHORED TO THE FLOOR, PLASTIC PIECES HAVE BEEN NOTICED LAYING IN THE SEAT TRACKS ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES, WORRIED ABOUT SEATS LEAVING TRACKS IF THERE HAPPENS TO BE AN ACCIDENT. HEAD LIGHTS- WAY TO DIM FOR DRIVING, ESPECIALLY IF RAINING, ALSO LOOKS LIKE THE PLASTIC COVER IS MELTING FROM LIGHTS BEING TOO HOT ALSO CAUSING DIMNESS. AIR BAG COVER ON PASSENGER SIDE DASH BOARD IS WARPING, AFFRAID IT MAY EXPLODE FOR NO REASON CAUSING A FATALITY. ABS - THE LIGHT COMES ON FOR DAYS THEN GOES OUT FOR MAYBE A DAY THEN COMES ON AGAIN. HAD THEM CHECKED OUT AND THEY SAY ITS FINE BUT LIGHT CONTINUTES TO COME ON.

#701524 | December 22, 1998

THE DRIVERSIDE SEAT BACK SUPPORT CRACKED IN HALF. THE CRACK WAS THROUGH THE CAST IRON FRAME PIECE WHICH ATTACHES FROM THE BACK TO THE SEAT. THE SEAT NOW WOBBLES SIDEWAYS. IT IS UNSTABLE AND I AM AFRAID THE WHOLE SEAT BACK WILL BREAK OFF AT ANY TIME. THERE WAS NO UNUSUAL HANDLING TO THE SEAT BY ANY MEANS. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND I AM SURE THIS PROBLEM EXISTS IN OTHER CARS. PLEASE HELP.

#700022 | October 22, 1998

IN THIS INCIDENT THE DRIVER'S BACK SEAT SUPPORT SNAPPED BACK TO AN ALMOST RECLINING POSITION CAUSING DRIVER TO SWIRVE AND RUN INTO MEDIAN OF ROAD. CURRENTLY THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN WITH A COOLER ON THE FLOOR OF THE BACK SEAT SO THAT THE SEAT CAN BE PRECARIOUSLY POSITIONED. WHEN CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED THEY ARE STATING THAT THEY ARE NOT AT ALL LIABLE. I FEEL THIS IS DEFINATELY A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE SEAT IS CURRENTLY VERY UNSTABLE.
