2000 Dodge Intrepid seats problems

“AS I SAT IN MY CAR TO DRIVE, THE DRIVER'S SEAT LEANED BACK UNEXPECTEDLY. IT CAN NOT BE RAISED. I HAVE A BUCKET AND BOX BEHIND THE SEAT TO HOLD IT IN PLACE, BUT IT IS STILL NOT IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.”

“I WAS GROCERY SHOPPING AND WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR TO GO HOME THERE WAS A CLUNK NOISE AND I WAS RECLINING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. I COULD NOT UPRIGHT THE SEAT SO IT WOULD STAY IN PLACE. I PUT THE SEAT BELT ON AND HELD DOWN THE CONSOLE AND MADE IT HOME SCARED BUT SAFE.I LOOKED UNDER THE SEAT AND FOUND A BOLT BROKEN OFF. I DID RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE BOLTS SOME TIME AGO AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER. I ASSUMED THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED ALTHOUGH I HAD NOT HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL TODAY. CAN I GO BACK TO DODGE TO HAVE IT FIXED? OBVIOUSLY IT WAD EITHER NOT REPLACED OR I GOT A FAULTY BOLT. PLEASE HELP. *TR”

“MY 2000 DODGE INTREPID HAS A DEFECTIVE DRIVERS SEAT. FORTUNATELY, IN 2003 I STOPPED MY CAR TO LET A PASSENGER EXIT AND MY DRIVER'S SEAT FELL COMPLETELY BACKWARDS. IN 2006 I LEARNED THAT MY CAR DEALER FIXED THE SEAT AGAIN. IN 2010, I WAS STOPPED AT MY MAILBOX AND MY SEAT FELL COMPLETELY BACKWARDS AGAIN. THE DEALER & DODGE COMPANY REFUSED TO PAY FOR A SEAT REPLACEMENT. WHY NOT? *TR”
