Front Seat Heater/cooler problems of the 2012 Chrysler Town & Country

While parked in our driveway, ignotion/accessory off, with the 3rd row seats stowed, and the second row door switch disabled, my wife and I were attaching and adjusting a child safety seat in the 2nd row right side. Our 2 year old grandaughter was playing in the back, the back door was open. I went in the house for a moment, upon returning I learned that our grandaughter had gotten pinned between a deploying left side third row seat and a small cooler we had in the back of the van. My wife heard her say "help me" and was able to pull her out of the way. If grandma had not been close enough to effect a rescue it may have been catastrophic. The seat jammed itself against the cooler and the second row seat. One leg locked into the floor the other was "pinned" in a folded backward postion. The seat was not safely usable. I immediately called Chrysler, I was told I would hear back, I have not. It was a Saturday and I really needed the seat to be usable. I went to the dealer, my sales rep was able to pull the "pinned" leg back into position (it took significant application of strength), following which, the seat operated normally. Since that occurance there have been two occurrances of accidental 3rd row seat deployment while loading or unloading the van. The controls are easy to bump with ones elbow. The seats deploy under far too great of force to be safe. There is no lockout for the controls. There is no "cancel". The controls are active when the vehicle is in park and the back door is open. While demonstrating the problems to the dealer, the right side 3rd row seat damaged itself beyond simple repair requiring parts to be ordered. It is scheduled for repair. Chrysler maintains that the system is safe.
