| Description of the problem | Driving on freeway, driver seat leaned forward as far as possible. If the seat had been positioned forward further, driver would have been pushed against the steering wheel! Happened rarely at first, then began to do it constantly. When seatback is pushing forward the buttons are useless. By constantly holding the button to tilt the seat backwards, eventually it would go back. Eventually i disconnected the fuse for the electric seat so the car was usable (but you could not adjust the seat). This problem appears to have happened on a decent number of these cars. Searching on the internet found multiple people with the same problem. Cost to fix is outrageous (basically new seat/system). |
