PASSENGER SIDE SEAT SLIDES WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO CAUSE HEAD TO IMPACT WINDSHIELD ON SUDDEN/HARD STOP. SEAT BELTS DO NOT ENGAGE TO STOP FORWARD OR SIDE MOTION OF HUMAN BODY WHEN EITHER SEAT SLIDES BACK/FORTH. 02/2015 CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM REPAIRED SEAT FRAME WITH A NEW SWITCH (TECH NOTES 545 AND 579) AT MILEAGE: 116,616. 2017 CURRENT MILEAGE: 124,674.

VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY WITH OUT WARNING AT ANY SPEED INCLUDING IN PARK AND WHILE IDLING. WHEN THIS OCCURS POWER STEERING IS LOST, GAUGES FREEZE IN LAST POSITION, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT BACK UP WITHOUT HESITATION. DURING MY 7 MINUTE DRIVE TO WORK IT MAY STILL ONCE OR NOT AT ALL UP TO 7 TIMES. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY SITTING AT A DODGE DEALERSHIP GARAGE WHERE THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE IT DUE TO VEHICLE NOT GIVING AND CODES EVEN WITH IT STALLING FOR THEM MULTIPLE TIMES. I ALREADY REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND IT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. MY OPTIONS ARE TAKE MY CAR BACK STILL STALLING OR REPLACE THE PCM $500-$900 WHICH MAY NOT BE THE PROBLEM THEN I'M OUT THE MONEY. I GUESS FINGERS CROSSED SINCE NO ONE AT THIS GARAGE HAS EVER SEEN A VEHICLE NOT THROW A CODE WITH THEM WITNESSING THE ISSUE

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
