One morning while sitting in my car the front driver side seat-back broke. The seat-back began to sag backwards on the right side. I took the car to the dealer and they contacted daimler-chrysler via their computer system. My car was covered for a free repair because other dodge interpid owners are having a similar problem. Though my repair of my moterized driver side seat is free, I feel that this could be a major safety problem. My car was not moving when the seat back broke. Had I been involved in an accident or stopping quickly I may have had a major problem. Daimler-chrysler knows about the problem because they are fixing it for free. I was told that this was several hundred dollars of free repairs provided by daimler-chrysler. Someone should look into the driver side seat back failure problem in dodge intrepids.
1994 Dodge Intrepid seats complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 34 of 34, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Seat back snapped on right side, dealer says frame is broken but it's not a manufacturing defect. Baloney! Seat back wobbles from side to side and is very unstable. They want nearly $700 to replace. This is not acceptable to me.
Right seatback support bracket for drivers bucket seat broke due to fatigue crack. Left seatback support bracket cracked 1/4 inch at this time.
Driver seat (power) broke in two at the right rear corner near where it is bolted to the seat back, causing the back to move up away from the seat.
Back of front seat broke due to a bracket that had sheared off in half, which could have caused loss of vehicle control and injuries.
Driver's power seat cracked in two:the seat back cracked away from the seat back causing the seat to lurch backward. At this point there was no support on the right side of the drivers seat. The motion caused me to vere to the right - almost hitting another car. The car is now almost undrivable due to the lack of support the seat is supposted to do. When the seat lurched backward, I pulled my lower back in an attempt to stay in an upright position. Now I know that chrysler-daimler does not care about me or my car because I have been in to the dealer who wants no responsibility for this manufacturers defect. The dealer and the customer arbitration board at chrysler both want nothing to do with me. I politely asked them why this will not be repaired for free and the response was - pay @$650.00 or do not bother us with this problem. I paid for the estimate and left very unhappy. Current mileage at estimate 68699 and date of estimate 1/3/00. Please respond to this defect request - it would be much appreciated. Many others seem to have this same problem with the 94 intrepid. Also. It is funny that all the salvage yards here in tucson either are missing the power front seat or the one's that are still in the car are allready cracked or broken throught at the seatback support at the track rail. Help me if you can, but please repond to this.
Seats- automatic seats. Where anchored to the floor, plastic pieces have been noticed laying in the seat tracks on both driver and passenger sides, worried about seats leaving tracks if there happens to be an accident. Head lights- way to dim for driving, especially if raining, also looks like the plastic cover is melting from lights being too hot also causing dimness. Air bag cover on passenger side dash board is warping, affraid it may explode for no reason causing a fatality. Abs - the light comes on for days then goes out for maybe a day then comes on again. Had them checked out and they say its fine but light continutes to come on.

Inboard driver's seat back attachment to seat bottom fractured without vehicle accident. Awaiting parts for repair. Will retain parts and photos of undamaged vehicle.
The driverside seat back support cracked in half. The crack was through the cast iron frame piece which attaches from the back to the seat. The seat now wobbles sideways. It is unstable and I am afraid the whole seat back will break off at any time. There was no unusual handling to the seat by any means. This is a serious problem and I am sure this problem exists in other cars. Please help.
In this incident the driver's back seat support snapped back to an almost reclining position causing driver to swirve and run into median of road. Currently the car is being driven with a cooler on the floor of the back seat so that the seat can be precariously positioned. When chrysler was contacted they are stating that they are not at all liable. I feel this is definately a safety issue since the seat is currently very unstable.
Since the sat broke under normal (actually better than normal) use and very low mileage, it must have been defective.
