Chrysler corp. Recall for power seat adjuster in 2012 , took the vehicle in three times and never got this replaced as I was told there were no parts, you would have to get out of the vehicle to move the power seat,on my last visit to the dealership in january 2013 I found that the wheels kept trying to go their own way so I went for a wheel alinement the shop showed me that the steering rack was in fact cracked in half, don't know how that came about but I paid for the replacement but still never heard from them about the adjuster, I still own this vehicle and have replaced many parts but I'm still waiting for the power seat adjuster.
