While driving on Sunday night, a car in front of mine hit the brakes requiring me to do the same. At that point, the seat behind my driver's seat disengaged from the locking mechanism and tilted forward. My daughter was in the seat at the time in her carseat. As the seat fell forward her face hit the back of my seat causing an abrasion and black eye. She was taken to her doctor. The van will be taken in to Chrysler for evaluation. Clearly the seat malfunctioned as it was not left unlocked.
Consumer shifted gear into park, but vehicle was not in park, it was still in drive. Consumer took vehicle to dealer, and is waiting for explanation of cause. Right rear seat recliner assemblies were replaced due to a rattling noise. Sliding doors don't always completely shut, while driving they will open, dealer states this is the design of the door.
Two bench seats have hooks where a car seat could be installed. But when passenger sat on bench seat could feel back had been brnised. Steel U-bolts for child restraint system protrude when the two rear bench seats are reclined. This protrusion could cause serious injuries.
