| Description of the problem | Front power driver's seat moves by itself randomly while driving. The seat leaned forward about 45 degrees itself while driving without touching the seat switch or any bumps on the road. The sudden movement of the seat, without any kind of warning, caused collapsing driver's upper body to the steering wheel and pushing driver's head downward. It is very dangerous to drive the car in that position. Driving speed was not related to the problem. I took the vehicle to the dealer service center in el paso, texas. At first, the service advisor did not believe my complaint, but the seat moved itself in front of him, even while the car was stopped and no one was seating on it. The service advisor rulled out if that was seat switch problem and recommended to replace the seat track which would cost more than $2,000. |
