Noisy drivers seat.

[housedrx]

Has anyone got a drivers seat that pops and clunks? Mine can be heard and felt and is very annoying. Dealer has replaced the seat frame once which stopped the problem for 2 months now its back. Ram said to replace the frame again.

Sounds like a loose bolt somewhere

Nope. As weight shifts it make the noise. I checked the bolts. It was fixed for 2 months then came back

We had the same issue happen at some point in my wife's Durango. It would happen whenever you'd turn sharp enough to shift the drivers weight in the seat.

After removing and pretty much completely disassembling the seat frame, I found there was enough slop where the rear cross bar was connected (circled in the attached), that side-to-side play resulted in the popping.

Sadly, my only remedy was to replace it, but in our case the issue has not come back and it's been about 2 years now.




We never did figure out the root cause, but had two guesses. 1 - when my wife was nearly run off the road by a distracted driver, she hit a curb. It was bad enough to knock the upper control arm loose, so could have potentially caused the seat frame to break. 2 - one of the two times we've let someone else drive it (recall fixes), that someone did something funky.

Mine pops and clunks. I hate going to the dealer, so I have yet to take it in for that. I have a small laundry list of things to get done, so I should schedule a trip soon.

There is a noise coming from my passenger seat occasionally.

Sometimes sounds like a whine, Sometimes louder, sometimes softer.

I only notice it when my wife is in the truck with me.

hope you figure your noise out.

YES! I had mine replaced at about 6,500 miles and has been good since.
