This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
This problem with the power seat is very unsafe and it is a good thing that I'm am somewhat mechanically incline and thought to pull the fuse out just as I could see the smoke and the white harness under the seat was red just ready to ignite so just picture if it would have been someone that is not M.incline and would not think of pulling the fuse I guarantee a fire would break out under the driver seat...I am very unhappy with this because this could have been my wife and 3year old son driving in the truck alone and I guarantee that she would not have thought to pull the fuse out or this could happen to someone else that has the same truck...also I have not take the truck in to the Dodge dealer yet because I can't afford a big repair bill...this is a big safety hazard and I think there should be a recall.
The consumer entered the vehicle, put on his seat belt and proceeded to drive home. While driving the consumer noticed that the belts tightened up. Then, he smelled smoke. The consumer looked down, and saw smoke coming from the under seat. The consumer pulled to the side of the road, unlatched the seat belt, looked under the seat, and saw smoke and fire coming from the plug. The problem occurred in the driver seat. The electric plug was unplugged to the seat belt. The plugs were replaced with a single stable plug.
