| Description of the problem | On 6/13/04 we test drove a 2005 dodge grand caravan with the stow and go seats. The back seat has a 60/40 split and the 40 section was down when we looked at the vehicle on the lot. We pulled the seat up for my four year old to sit in with his booster. As my husband accelerated to get on the highway that section of the seat flipped backwards. The sales rep. Unbelted my son and pulled the seat upright again. He had to pound on the leg of the seat to get it into proper position. Dodge needs to take a look at this or at least warn customers!*ak |
