Sliding my driver seat back and front when braking.

Seats
A few months back, the front driver's seat began to slide forward when braking and then back once starting up again -- whether city street or freeway driving. It feels like it moves an inch or so. It is a 2000. It began before 78,000 miles. I purchased the car from parents in 2010 and it did not have any issues until suddenly it moved when braking. Seat should be stable. I see this is a common issue with this model.

Electrical System · Seats
Drivers power seat 'slack". When you apply brakes to stop, the seat slides forward then returns back after the stopping motion ends. This affects the drivers seat position and braking action. In an accident this will put the driver closer to the steering wheel and air bag. Suspension- driving on the freeway , if you encounter bumpy or rough roads on a curve the car will sometimes slip sideways a bit, it's enough to…

Engine · Seats
First off, the power driver seat moves with the motion of the car about a 1/2" forward and back. It has been told to me that a spacer is needed to be installed in the mechanism. Second and more important is the engine cuts off when the car is decelerating; all power to the car is impeded. The car will not restart immediately.

While driving the vehicle on the interstate, i applied the brakes and the front seat shifted forward. A driver seat should be stationary and not rock forward when you driving. Definitely a safety hazard. *tr
ODI 10664721
Seats
The driver seat moves forward when braking. It is dangerous in the event of hard braking and the seat moves forward. This can cause the driver to apply more force on the brake than intended. The 'movement' is due to worn parts in the electric lift and/or electric forward/backward positioning mechanism(s). The movement is not due to the electric motors doing the movement.

2000 dodge durango driver's (power) seat moves about an inch forward when braking and backwards when accelerating. I feel very unsafe with this movement, as it is really unnerving while trying to brake in a safe manner. According to a few websites, this is a constant problem with 98 - 03 dodge's, due to a cracked seat track. This seems to be something that really needs to be recalled and taken care of before a…

I currently drive a 2000 dodge durango slt. The front seat bracket is fragile and can easily break making it rock back and forth. This has already happened to my drivers chair and the part to fix it is not available. The result is having to buy a new seat which is not possible at this point. Pending an accident i could see this causing problems such as whiplash since the seat is not securely mounted. I have done…

I am writing this email to express my deep concern for the safety of children riding in the rear 3rd bench seat of dodge durango's. My husband and i have a 2000 dodge durango. We recently have been putting my 4 year old son's booster seat in the bench seat since the birth of our 3rd child. We figured we could still use the durango instead of buying a mini van. It became evident to us on a recent car trip that the…

The problem started at approximately 38,000 miles and getting worst as time goes on. On inspection, i found the aluminum sliders attached to the gear drives for both left and right sides to be…
