| Description of the problem | About two weeks ago, the back portion of the front driver's side seat began moving forward automatically while i was driving the car. I also noticed that when the car is parked the seat would move forward as well. When the seat moves forward, i am put very close to the steering wheel, which makes it difficult to steer and interferes with my ability to brake quickly. Also, because i am so close to the steering wheel, i believe that if the air bags were to deploy i would be unnecessarily harmed. I brought the car to a dealership on december 17, 2014 because of a separate recall notice i was sent. The dealership replaced the stop lamp switch and added corrosive protection to the under carriage of my car. When i asked the service manager if he could run a diagnostic on my car while it was being repaired, he informed me that because the car was not under warranty, i would have to pay $130 dollars. The bts wire in the front passenger seat has already been repaired, at 24,144 miles, so i believe that there could be a connection between the fact that there was a faulty wire in the front passenger seat and the issues i am now having with the front driver's seat. |
