5 Seats problem of the 1997 Dodge RAM

Failure Date: 10/01/1998

The metal plate inside the seat closest to the driver's door that allows the back of the seat to pivot forward protrudes through the seat fabric exposing a sharp point that has ripped 6 pairs of my pants on the left rear pocket (and cut into a leather wallet) when sitting down in the seat. The reason I had so many pairs of pants ripped is that it took several months for me to realize exactly "what" was causing the rips. Had it not been for having my wallet in my left pocket I would have surely sustained a laceration on my left buttock. I currently have about 12 layers of duct tape covering the hole that the point protrudes through. Would like to have the manufacturer replace the seat and $300 worth of pants.
