The motor is going but it isn't doing anything now. I just got this truck and barely use the lumbar. I imagine they will do whatever they need to do to fix it for free on a 1 month old truck?

 

Mine is broken as well. It happened when the truck was only a few weeks old. Just waiting for something else to see the dealer for then I'll bring it in.

 

If it's manual now, it's cost. Power lumbar support has been around along time and if Dodge can't put in somthing decent that will last, it's because of Dodge, not design.

 

I should ask for a 2004 seat. I dont want it to break again.

 

what is a power lumbar?

 

Lumbar support powered by electricity from the battery.

 

what does it do? sorry i am a noob

 

It is kind of like a hump in the back portion of the driver seat that goes up/down (or is it in/out? haha) I always have mine all the way up because it sort of forces you to sit upright with good posture. Whatever it is, I really like it a lot.

 

It supports the lumbar area of your back so your back doesn't start hurting on long trips.

 

to the guys that are broken...are you big men? IE: heavy....

mine works great and I need it at 6'5"...I hope mine does not go out...

 

yeah im 6'3" 200 and its fine for me...the seat makes noise because it wasnt alligned right at the factory tho! >

 

I'm only 160. I brought it in and they're fixing it for free *shrug*. I figure if it happens once or twice more, then I'll try to go for an 04 premium seat with manual lumbar.

 

good point overkill....also throws my weight theory out of the window.... ???
