Example complaints

“In 1999 the manual seat height adjuster was dropped on all 99' Dodge Stratus's. A fixed seat was installed. The seat manufactured by chrysler's vendor is in a very high fixed position, so high that I at 5ft 7inches tall is only about 3 inches from the roof liner. My son at 6ft 1inch cannot drive this vehicle, his head is literally squashed into the head liner. I just cannot believe a seat to be manufactured this high as to pose a safety hazard to people over 5ft 10. I have contacted chrsyler twice on this matter to no avail. …”
