2005 Caravan Passenger Headroom

Anyone having serious passenger headroom issues with the 2005 Caravan,
especially with leather, elecronic passenger power seat.......and if
so....any luck with Chryser in correctiing?

 

Head room??? did you sit in the vehicle before you purchased it?

 

I'm... puzzled. How could you fail to notice this before you bought
the vehicle? Didn't you test drive it?

 

If you get a sunroof and side air bags yes head room is very difficult for
"full size" people.

try the seat forward or back, or even recline it a bit, my wifes mazda
protege was a pain, kept hitting the ohshit handle with my head.

 

We did test drive it and it was great...but in order to get some of the
options we wanted...we had to get leather seats with the electronic
passenger power seat...because of this the passenger seats default position
is too high...the power controls only front/back and reclining....There is
no way one could have known this without sitting in the passenger seat. The
driver seat is fine because the seat can be lowered....going to arbitration
to try to get a regular seat put in.......Thankfully,we only leased the
vehicle.....

 

ps.. My wife is only 5'4 and keeps banging her head when she gets
in.....then again, so do I and I am 5"8. We are definitely not tall
people....I am going after Chrysler to put a regular, non-powerseat in and
that will definetly fix the problem, because the driver side is fine...never
banged my head once.........

 

Your failure to try the van for size and fit before signing the contract
is Chrysler's fault...how, exactly?

 

No, in order to get the options you wanted *on an in-stock vehicle*, the
dealer talked you into taking options you didn't necessarily want, and
sounds like you didn't try out.

And you didn't sit in the passenger seat because...?

 

Daniel are you being the asshole you are again???
"We did test drive it and it was great"
Did you not read the OP post??

Please grow up and dont feel so threatened by the people on here. abd by all
means get a kife pal

 

Isn't the problem the drawer under the seat. Regardless of the operation
(manual or power) I believe the seat cannot go lower because of the drawer.
You might investigate putting a drivers seat support frame on the passenger
side. But Chryslers not going to pay for it. They make them like they make
them and if you don't like it don't but one. FYI.. my Chevy Venture had the
same problem.

umm you better re-read also, he said"no way one could have known this
without sitting in the passenger seat" which means he didn't sit or have his
wife sit in the passenger seat of the van he was "buying"

 

I figured that the word "we" means his wife and himself, meaning she was in
the passenger side/or he was while the other was driving, unless she stayed
at the dealer while he drove it and vice versa....or maybe they drove in the
back.
