Mountaineer

  • Automatic transmission
  • 34 miles
The driver's seat moved by itself towards the steering wheel. Consumer encountered this upon entering the vehicle, and after it has been parked. Once driving the vehicle the seat moved back to the position it was in on its own. The seat will not stay in the position, even when set manually. The seat moved while the consumer was driving, pressing the consumer into the steering and his knees into the dashboard.
