The contact owns a 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan. The contact stated while driving 65 mph the contact attempted to raise the passenger seat from the reclined position but the seat would not move.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure and also stated the seat was operating as designed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 30,000.
