As I got in my truck and put the key in the ignition, my driver side power seat started to move forward on its own and would not stop, forcing me to open my door and remove my legs before it pinned my legs or worse, the seat stopped at the fully forward position with only a few inches between seat and bottom of dash.

Passenger site will not alarm (warn driver) after the vehicle had software update. The dealer is unable to restore the passenger alerting system. See also ODI 11185016.

Vehicle was take to dealership for manufacture's recall of the passengers seat module software updated. Before taking vehicle for the service, all seats alarm when passenger/S failed to buckle their safety restraints, after the software update none of the seat warned driver of unbuckled passenger. Returned the vehicle and reported fault, the dealership said the vehicle was not equipped with the alarming system and I would not be alerted of buckling failures. Further; Fiat Chrysler has inform me via the dealer is unable to repair problem work order 4230216/1 see also ODI 11205409. Consumer please remember, the passenger side warning indicator is totally deactivated (doesn't work). The procedure was uneventful (did not work), as a retired maintenance man I can affirm. The problem with my vehicle has to do with Chrysler's lack of trained personal and telling all concerned that my vehicle 'doesn't have that option'.
