2000 Dodge Intrepid seats complaints

We have a 2000 dodge intrepid es sedan that we bought new in august of 2000. In 2003 chrysler issued a recall on a seat bolt that could break and cause the seat to fall completely backwards into the back seat. We took our car in to have the part replaced. The other day the drivers seat broke and fell back into the back seat. Fortunately the car was being parked at the time and no one was in the back seat. If we had been on the freeway or had one of our small grandchildren in the back seat the consequences could have been serious. We took the car into the dealership to have the seat repaired assuming this was the same part that was recalled. We were told this was a different part and was not under recall. If it is a different bolt as the dealer claims it should be under recall too. We were fortunate that no one was hurt. The next person this happens to may not be so lucky. The part to repair the seat is $800.00, this will not include labor and chrysler will not cover any of it. If you can draw attention to this serious defect in the dodge intrepid we would sincerely appreciate it.
On january 15, 2004 I brought my dodge intrepid VIN#2b3hd46rxh103584 to dohn bohn dodge in metairie, la for replace of the drivers side recliner seat bolts. This was being done per a recall notice I received. The federal safety agency campaign number id number is #03v035000. An invoice was issued stating the repairs were completed. On september 15, 2004 the same drivers side seat recliner bolt sheared in half and I lost control of the car and had an accident. I am under doctors care for injuries sustained. I reported this information to dahimler chrysler on 10/04/2005 and they gave me a claim number #12695236. I contacted a local dealership lakeshore dodge and they informed since I had the recall already done I would have to pay for the service. I declined and had the bolt replaced by my insurance company and retained the bolt.
My engine failed on my 2000 dodge intrepid. The problem started with my timing chain coming apart in the engine with the engine since quitting completely. This is the same type of problem many others have listed on the internet with the timing chain and a huge engine repair cost. I do not have the money to fix a car that is so old, and I'm left paying for a car that doesn't run. Please add my name and information to the other lists of complaints for this dodge intrepid problem.
