“My 1999 Durango slides in the rail unless the seat is positioned at the extreme forward or rearward positions. I can't tell if it is a cracked rail. . It is most noticeable when braking and the seat moves forward. Had taken it to the dealer back in 2003 but said it was out of warranty. It has seem to be worse over time. Dangerous to the point I am reluctant to let others drive it until it can be repaired.”
NHTSA complaint #10247259, filed 2008-10, 55,000 miles“Once I was driving for 5-10 mins the car would shut down. Also the front suspension makes noise. When im stopping in a red light my front driver side seat moves back and forward.”
NHTSA complaint #10607915, filed 2014-07, 95,000 miles“I pulled out of my driveway going in reverse and when I brake to put it into drive and start down the street my driver seat rocked back almost hitting the headrest on the back seat. If I had been in town and took off when a light turned green I could have caused an accident and seriously injured someone. My vehicle is a 1999 Dodge Durango slt gold edition 4wd 5.2l . The end of the adjuster bar under the seat snapped right off. Before that the seat shifted forward almost an inch each time I stopped my vehicle. Not sure if that was related. …”
