While driving, I noticed that when I accelerate after braking, the driver seat slides back and forth about an inch. Also, when I'm at a red light, with my foot on the brakes the vehicle accelerates. Both of these are very serious and dangerous issues and should be recalls.
The drivers side seat in the vehicle moves forward and backwards while starting and stopping, and occasionally while driving approximately 1 inch. It is called a "rocking" seat as described by hundreds of Dodge Durango owners online and in Dodge forums. It cannot be fixed, it needs to be replaced. The seat movement is distracting and potentially dangerous. I am afraid the problem will get worse, to the point that the vehicle will be un-driveable. Help! I am the only owner of this vehicle and have taken great care of it. Thank you.
The front drivers seat rocks back and forth on the tracks and is extremely loose. I have only 89000 miles and it started around 48000 miles. Totally disappointed with Dodges quality and worry about issues with safety.
I have a 2003 Dodge Durango in which I have had problems with the front seat housings. This is the plastic component that is supposed to protect the wiring of the electric seats. This is also where the actual seat adjustment controls are located. I have had two of the housings replaced already and I need to have each one replaced again. I asked the service department about it and they said that they had replaced many of the same components but at this time Chrysler would not pay for the repair. It would seem to me, that with normal wear that this piece should not crack and have to be replaced at all; yet I need to replace each component again - at my cost.
