Seats problem #1

Air bag indicator light intermittently lights and renders the airbag system useless due to the malfunctioning switch in the airbag system. This could cause injury or death to the occupants of the vehicle.

Seats problem #2

Passenger seat adjuster: some roller bearings came out of the sliding tracks causing the seat to be loose and not completely lock in place, presenting a safety issue.

Seats problem #3

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Challenger. While the vehicle was stationary or driving various speeds, the passenger seat became loose and would not latch onto the floorboard track properly. Holden Dodge of dover, delaware stated that the vehicle was out of warranty and the extended warranty had expired. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was out of warranty and there would be no warranty coverage for the defect. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Seats problem #4

Bearings started falling out, which allows the seat to slide forward and backwards. Without these bearings the seat will no longer slide forward or backwards, when an adjustment is needed. However, when the brakes are applied, the seat will slide forward for no reason, or when I accelerate the seat will slide backwards. My mom's knees were damaged during a minor collision because of this issue. She is in her 80's. This is very concerning and may thrust someone forward during an airbag deployment. My airbag didn't deploy as I was able to brake and this was during a right turn at a traffic signal, so there wasn't enough speed to deploy the airbags.
