| Description of the problem | At least 3 times in the last 2 weeks the drivers seat back started moving to the recline position with not input on seat adjustment from the driver. This is a scary situation as if you are leaning into the seat back you start moving to the reclined position. Trying to stop the recline using the control would stop the movement until you let up on the seat back control. We found if you move the seat adjustment for forward and back (bottom of seat) the recline stopped. I am planning on taking car to dealer but this is not occur very often. |
