Consumer's vehicle was experiencing electrical problems and erratic operation. Interior lights will flicker on and off/ electric door locks will lock and unlock, and light on dash showed that doors were open in vehicle. Also, while vehicle was in operation, driver's seat moved forward and up, which pinned driver to steering wheel. Consumer was able to pull vehicle to side of road. Dealership has examined vehicle, and could not determine that there was a problem. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
