Three problems related to seats have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Intrepid. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was traveling home from work at 60 mph, when the back of my seat collapsed and I lost control of the vehicle momentarilly. Upon examining the seat at home I found the bolt which holds the seat upright had sheared off. The bolt appears to be a composite material and not a strong metal. No way this should have failed. I see two more reported cases, which leads me to believe there are hundreds more out there, but are being repaired under warranty and not being reported.
Consumer was preparing to back out of parking lot and driver's seat collapsed backwards. Vehicle then hit a bus. Vehicle checked by dealer,who advised consumer that bolts and screws were cracked and broken.
Vehicle experienced the same defect with its seatback reclining bolt as stated in recall 03 v 035 000, but it occurred on the passenger's side. Recall covers the driver's side.
