I bought myDurango used andthe driver and passenger seat plastic was cracked bigtime. I had the dealer fix it before I would buy the truck. I am not sure why it happenedbut I haven't had any problems since I have owned the truck.

Kandy:

We have 2 Gen 2 D's wereI work, and both of them have the same issue. I believe it to be a common problem. They will replace the part under the B to B warranty, but once thats done they will want some bucks.

I don't think they upgraded the replacement part either, which means it will probably happen again.

Common problem.

If it isn't cracked, put reinforcement washers behind it to keep it from cracking.

I've seen rentals with 12,000 miles have that area busted. Makers defect.

Will replace under warranty if you have one still.

STOP TYPING IN ALL CAPS

Mine has been replaced 2 times now. I have found that when I get out of the seat i put pressure on that side, because I am so short. The new one is cracked also. So I think that is what it is. The new one, the seatbelt cover fell fell off so I superglued it back on and I have had no trouble since.
