The driver seat has a part that wears out and causes the power seat to move forward and backward on its slide track. eventually the part will fail and the seat will slide right into the steering wheel which will impact the drivers chest. The power seat has two acme threaded rods that drive the seat rails forward/ backwards to allow driver to adjust the seat. the acme rods drive a custom screw block to allow the motion. when in static position only the screw block holds the seat and stops it from moving forward and backward. from what i can observe the acme rod is case hardened but the screw block is not. the screw block seems to wear out prematurely after four years. if left unaddressed the screw block could fail completely and allow the seat and passenger to hit the steering wheel while

Wipers have a mind of their own. Sometimes they just quit working during a rain storm and other times they change speed on their own and other times they stop right in your field of vision during a rain storm. You can sometimes get them working again by pulling off the road if you can do safely and shut the car off and restart it and things go back to normal. I had a mechanic look at it and there is nothing wrong mechanically wrong with the wiper motor or linkage. The problem is with the integrated body computer that controls the wiper system. I told my Chrysler dealership about it and they said that there wasn't a recall about it yet and that yes it is the computer that is the problem and other people are having the same problem. This is a serious safety problem that needs fixed before t
