problem #1

Dec 272012

RX 450h 6-cyl

  • 15,000 miles
Foot of backseat passenger sitting behind the driver was trapped and painfully mashed under seat positioning mechanism when seat automatically moved back when car ignition was turned off. There needs to be a sensor that detects when seat motion is obstructed and stops or reverses seat motion rather than crushing whatever is in the way including body parts.
