“I own a 2002 Chrysler town & country lxi mini van. The problem I have noticed is with the passenger seats (second row). They are buckets (not bench) and can swivel forward to allow access to the third row. In order to place the seat back into position after a person has entered or exited the vehicle, you must slam the seat back into the floor. If this is not done however, the seat appears to go back into place. If you are not experienced with this, the seat does not lock back into the floor. …”
