2000 Dodge Durango seats problems

Filed Oct 16, 2019 · Seats · 90,000 miles · TX

The driver seat moves forward when braking. It is dangerous in the event of hard braking and the seat moves forward. This can cause the driver to apply more force on the brake than intended. The 'movement' is due to worn parts in the electric lift and/or electric forward/backward positioning mechanism(s). The movement is not due to the electric motors doing the movement.

Sliding my driver seat back and front when braking.

A few months back, the front driver's seat began to slide forward when braking and then back once starting up again -- whether city street or freeway driving. It feels like it moves an inch or so. It is a 2000. It began before 78,000 miles. I purchased the car from parents in 2010 and it did not have any issues until suddenly it moved when braking. Seat should be stable. I see this is a common issue with this model.

Drivers power seat 'slack". When you apply brakes to stop, the seat slides forward then returns back after the stopping motion ends. This affects the drivers seat position and braking action. In an accident this will put the driver closer to the steering wheel and air bag. Suspension- driving on the freeway , if you encounter bumpy or rough roads on a curve the car will sometimes slip sideways a bit, it's enough to startle you for a moment.

First off, the power driver seat moves with the motion of the car about a 1/2" forward and back. It has been told to me that a spacer is needed to be installed in the mechanism. Second and more important is the engine cuts off when the car is decelerating; all power to the car is impeded. The car will not restart immediately.

While driving the vehicle on the interstate, I applied the brakes and the front seat shifted forward. A driver seat should be stationary and not rock forward when you driving. Definitely a safety hazard.

Just recently I noticed the following problem with my driver's seat. After I select the correct seat position by pressing the button on the bottom left of the seat to move forward or backwards; the seat slides back and forth when I have to brake or stop. This problem is potentially dangerous in the event I have to stop/brake suddenly. From what I have read on the internet, this problem is common with the dodge durango and is caused by loose track rails attached underneath the driver's seat. Is this a defect in the dodge durango? If so, there should be a recall to fix this problem.

2000 dodge durango drivers side electric seat rocking chair effect. There is acme tread long screw (worm gear) between the top and bottom track. The front of the acme screw rests in a plastic bearing. There is a gear aluminum case from which a small transmission cable attaches to the front of the worm gear; both ends of the cable have a square shape.the cable is not attached to either end. It just slides in or out either side. Inside between the tracks there is an aluminum case that is held in place with 2 torque screws to the track. The problem: inside of the aluminum piece there is supposed to be a filler possibly made of rubber, which is affected by the grease and disintegrates over time. You will not find pieces of broken plastic or rubber, the rubber has become some sort of asphalt with the grease. Because of the lack of the filler between the nut and the interior of the aluminum casing, there is gap which allows the seat to move back and forward like a rocking chair.
