Palmer Lake, CO
SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
THE PASSENGER BUCKET SEAT, INBOARD SEAT-TRACK IS BROKEN. THIS CAUSES THE INBOARD SIDE TO BE LOOSE. THE INBOARD SEAT ASSY CAN MOVE SEVERAL INCHES UP/DOWN. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS SIMILAR TO THE ONE DESCRIBED IN A CHRYSLER "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION" WHERIN THE INBOARD PIVOT BRACKET WAS TO BE REPLACED ON THE DRIVERS SEAT. IN WHAT MAY BE A RELATED PROBLEM THE FORE/AFT POWER SEAT MOTOR IS EITHER BURNED OUT OR DEFECTIVE. IN SHORT, THE PASSENGER BUCKET SEAT TRACK ASSY. IS DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE. THE DEALER PARTS DEPARTMENT STATES THAT THE ENTIRE SEAT TRACK ASSY. MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $450 OR SO IN PARTS ALONE. IN THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT IS UNSTABLE AND THAT THE PROBLEM IS A DEFECT IN MATERIALS OR DESIGN, I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE GROUNDS FOR A RECALL AND NO COST REPAIR. IN ADDITION, BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SEAT TRACKS HAVE HAD 6 INCH PLASTIC GUIDES BREAK AND COME LOOSE FROM THE TRACK ASSY. THIS CAUSES THE SEATS TO BE MILDLY UNSTABLE AND LOOSE.
