 On 18 sep 2000, took my car down to the dealer upon receipt of recall # 883, drivers power seat. the driver's seat does not go back and forth without pivoting sideways with the switch. the back of the seat upon leaning back goes towards the rear. upon taking the car to the dealer for repair, they stated the seat track was not covered un der the recall and they wrote the part up for $500.00 and labor $110.00. however, the recall notice states if the seat adjuster pivot brackets and seat tracks is the problem, then the dealer will repair free of charge (parts and labor). i am very upset that i have received less than customer satisfaction and myself and family could be in danger with the seat not being stable. dealer needs to be contacted to comply with recall #883.

 The front seat tracks have plastic inserts in them. they have broken out of the tracks and have been found on the floor of the vehicle several times. i started finding these black plastic inserts when the car was in its second year of ownership. i bought the car used. i contacted chrysler and they said that they had not had any reports of this type, and would not participate in any repairs. the seats have become unstable on the tracks due to the fact that the inserts took up slack between the upper and lower half of the seat tracks. the seats will actually rock on their tracks. i question the safety of these seats without the inserts in them!
