problem #3

Dakota 4WD

The bolt supporting the driver's side seatback has sheared numerous times, causing the seat back to collapse. So far the vehicle has been stopped when failure occurred, but this could be deadly if failure occurs while the vehicle is in motion. Once, the bracket supporting the seat back developed a crack. The part was replaced.
