Description of the problem	while driving on a long trip, without warning, the memory seats change seat setting and went back fully as if i shut the vehicle off, this happened several times while i was driving without my assistance. I finally realized that when i touched the keys in the ignition, the seat went back to its original setting. When this occurred i was unable to reach brake and accelerator pedals which could have caused a fatal accident to occur. If this happened at a time that i needed to apply the brakes, i would not be able to and there would have been no way for me to stop. I took my vehicle to an authorized dealer who replaced the ignition. On 6/6/2012 the same thing happened again (mileage 60774), this time i struck the car in front of me, it was a good thing it happened while i was in traffic, and neither vehicle sustained damage. I brought my vehicle to the same authorized dealer who replaced the ignition again. Thank god all repairs were covered under my warranty. I have been lucky twice. My warranty runs out at 75000, what if it happens a third time, what will my cost then???? Or what if it happens while traveling on the highway and i need to stop?? *js
