problem #1

Passat 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
I was driving my 2001 Passat when the driver's seat started moving and moved to the backmost position. I was unable to reach the gas or brake pedal with the seat in that position. I had just gotten off of an interstate highway when this happened. I was on a residential road and was able to pull off to the side of the road. I could not readjust the seat. I took the car to the dealership and they have seen the seat move, but do not know what is causing the problem. I cannot drive the car until it is repaired as this problem with the seat moving is a serious safety hazard.
