seat does not stay at height
Have not seen any complaints about the seat not staying where the ratchet has put it. I'm told this is a design flaw and am hitting it while entering and exiting. Is there a fix for this? I am constantly putting the seat up, and as stated it's a pain in the ass.

During the first month of the very hot summer, I noticed that my seat back was angled farther toward the steering wheel after a day of sitting in the hot sun. I thought it was just something I had done before I got out of the car that morning. Over the next several days, I noticed the same thing happening, so I made sure to note the seat position before I got out of the car.
I took it to the dealership and they told me that there was nothing wrong with it so I thought maybe it was just a glitch or something.
This continued to happen all summer so I took it back to the dealership and they told me again that they couldn't find anything wrong with it. They even had the nerve to tell me that I must be hitting it when I get out. I didn't want to argue because I can just keep moving the seat, but this is completely impossible. I don't carry a purse or a bag, so there is no way that my behind can possible reach around to the back side of the seat controls to push the seat back forward during the one second it takes me to get out of the car.
I have continued to have this problem during the summers. Sometimes if I sit on the edge of the seat, I can make the seat back move forward without touching any switch, so that says to me that there's a circuit that connects when the heat/sun causes the seat to expand.
