Description of the problem	While driving down the road, the seat will suddenly move backwards to the "open door" position, as though the key had been pulled out of the ignition. This creates a very dangerous situation, especially for people with short legs, as one can no longer reach the gas pedal or brake. Slightly "wiggling" the key or ignition switch will usually get the seat to move back to the preset driving position. When this happens, the interior lights also go on, and turn off when the seat moves back into position. This seems to happen at all different speeds, and it seems most events happen after the car hits a bump, but not always. There have been times when it just seems to happen without anything to set it off. It also can happen when the vehicle is first started up, or just as you start to shut the vehicle off. It is absolutely ridiculous that repair of this condition is not a recall item. The date shown for when it happened is the latest date - i have not driven the vehicle since then - but it has been occurring for at least the last 10 months.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
