The recall repair on this vehicle was incorrectly performed. I amfriend of the original owner of this car. She had purchased this car when it was new. From day one, i had noticed that the seats in her car were not locking into position when front passenger and driver were seated. Several years later (1999?), dodge had issued a recall on her car. They said that the seats had a problem with the locking mechanism. My friend brought her car into the dealership for the recall service on her seats. Several months later, i had noticed that the lock mechanism was still failing to lock into position. I had mentioned this problem to her. But, she insisted that the dealership had told her that they had servicedthe seat locks according to recall directives. (fast forward to year 2014): my friend has given this vehicle to me. I immediately noticed that the front seat locks would pose a safety issue if the car ever got involved in any collision. I brought this to the attention of dodge headquarters. They responded by stating that i should bring this matter to my local dealership. I then brought this matter to the attention of a local dodge dealership. The local dodge service rep had told me that, due to the age of the car, dodge is no longer obligated to remedy the previously-botched recall service.
