Description of the problem	on or about march 20, 2010, while my wife was operating our 2004 kia sedona van, the left front (drivers seat) power seat moved all the way forward while vehicle was in motion. Driver did not initiate action. Seat could not be moved to the rearward position. Mileage at this time (march 2010 was 50,599) this same action occurred on one previous occasion(while i was driving the vehicle) on or about february 17, 2009, at that time the vehicle was taken to lafountaine kia, dearborn, michigan for servicing. Vehicle mileage at this time was 40,431. Based on the invoice for that work the switch box assembly was replaced. Currently the vehicle is again at lafountaine kia for repairs. However at this no warranty exist for this particular item. Lafountaine stated that parts and labor from the february 2009 incident are only covered for 12 months/12,000 miles. So what i have is a 2004 kia sedona van in which during a roughly 13 month period the drivers side power seat, on its own moved to the full forward position and could not be moved back. Lafountaine claims they are unaware of any problems with kia power seats. Updated 05/12/10 bf the dealer claimed the wiring pulled loose from the electric switch. The cause was unknown/ the switch and wiring were spliced together and the wring harness was tie strapped to the seat mounting to prevent future occurrences. Updated 05/14/10.jb
