Driver power seat base broke making the seat unstable and unsafe. The vehicle is undrivable. If there was an accident, the seat belt would keep me from going forward, but then the seat would jolt back and most likely flip me backwards into the seat behind me or my child if he were in the seat!

Power seat will activate itself when driver sits on it, without touching any controls. The seat moves forward pinning the driver into the steering wheel. The seat just activates itself. I am not an overweight person. It only happens when first entering the vehicle and sitting down on the driver's seat. This anomolie happens quite often.

Driver's front seat was very loose. Electric power mechanism would either cause it to tilt forwards or backwards on its own. Other seats do not move. Have taken to dealership at least twice for repairs. Dealership was finally offering a new seat.

Problems with power driver seat. I set the recline position in the furthest upright position out of personal preference. Every time I get in the car I have to incline to seat to its most upright because the seat always has reclined to some degree. The degree the seat reclines varies every day. Ocassionally when I exit my vehicle, the seat will automatically recline all the way down when I have not even touched the power seat controls. This has been an ongoing nuisance and my dealer has not been able to resolve this issue. Problem is that this problem is hard to duplicate while at the dealer service department.
