I SAT BACK DOWN IN THE SEAT AND THE ELECTRONIC POSITIONING SYSTEM WOULD NO LONGER ADJUST THE SEATBACK AND THE BACK ITSELF SEEMED TO REST AT A BIT OF AN ANGLE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AS WELL AS LEANING BACK FARTHER THAN IT SHOULD. ON MONDAY 1/20/03 I TOOK MY CAR TO DON MILLER DODGE WEST, A SERVICE GARAGE AND DODGE DEALERSHIP IN MADISON WISCONSIN FOR AN INSPECTION OF THE SEAT. I WAS TOLD THAT ONE OF THE BOLTS ON THE SEAT BASE HAD BROKEN OFF THEREFORE PUTTING ALL OF THE FORCE ON THE REMAINING BOLT ON...

I WAS TRAVELING HOME FROM WORK AT 60 MPH, WHEN THE BACK OF MY SEAT COLLAPSED AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE MOMENTARILLY. UPON EXAMINING THE SEAT AT HOME I FOUND THE BOLT WHICH HOLDS THE SEAT UPRIGHT HAD SHEARED OFF. THE BOLT APPEARS TO BE A COMPOSITE MATERIAL AND NOT A STRONG METAL. NO WAY THIS SHOULD HAVE FAILED. I SEE TWO MORE REPORTED CASES, WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE ARE HUNDREDS MORE OUT THERE, BUT ARE BEING REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY AND NOT BEING REPORTED.*AK
