This Problem Across All Years
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE SEAT SUDDENLY WENT ALL THE WAY BACK AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN, WE FINALLY FIGURED OUT IT WAS THE IGNITION, WITH THE CAR ACTING LIKE THE KEY JUST GOT PUT IN THE IGNITION OR JUST PULLED OUT, AND THE SEAT MOVING ALL THE WAY BACK FOR EASIER INGRESS/EGRESS AND THE COURTESY LIGHTS COMING ON. SINCE I AM ONLY 5 FOOT 4 INCHES, WHEN THE SEAT MOVES BACK I CAN NO LONGER REACH THE PETALS, A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING.

I PURCHASED THIS USED VEHICLE WHICH IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT THE SEAT ISSUE. AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR ABOUT A WEEK THE POWER SEAT STARTED MOVING ON ITS OWN. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND THE ACTUAL NAVIGATION/RADIO SYSTEM AND DRIVING LIGHTS DIM. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A CONSTANT PROBLEM AND IS BASICALLY THE IGNITION AREA THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A FEW ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS AND HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN. MY MOTHER HAD TO DRIVE MY CAR ONE DAY AND SHE PULLED OVER IN COMPLETE FEAR BECAUSE OF ALMOST WRECKING. THERE HAS TO BE SOME TYPE OF RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. EVERY BUMP YOU HIT THIS HAPPENS NOW. MULTIPLE TIMES IN A 10 MIN DRIVE. IT IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS. PLEASE RESPOND ASAP! THANK YOU!

IF I HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER'S SEAT MOVES TO THE EASY EXIT POSITION THE DOME LIGHTS COME ON. HAPPENS ALSO IF YOU BUMP THE STEERING WHEEL OR IF YOU TOUCH THE KEY WHEN IT IS IN THE IGNITION. IT HAS HAPPENS WHILE BACKING OUT IN DRIVE. STALLED THE ENGINE TWICE. TURNING THE KEY SLIGHTLY WILL PUT THE SEAT BACK INTO THE SET POSITION. I AM ONLY 5' 5", SO WHEN THE SEAT GOES BACK WHILE I AM DRIVING, I AM MOVED TOO FAR AWAY FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS. MECHANIC INSPECTION INDICATES IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH AND HAS QUOTED IT AS A $203 REPAIR. *TR

THERE IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT THE SEAT WILL AUTOMATICALLY GO INTO THE "EASY EXIT" POSITION. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM FOR ME AS I DRIVE WITH THE SEAT AS FAR BACK AS POSSIBLE, BUT THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY WIFE. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED YET? THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL. GOD FORBID THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WORSENS AND CAUSES A FIRE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED BACKWARDS. I WAS UNABLE TO REACH THE BRAKE OR GAS AND WAS NEARLY IN AN ACCIDENT AS I WAS UNAWARE AS TO WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE DOME LIGHTS AND THE EXTERIOR EXIT LIGHTS LIT UP AS WELL. SINCE THIS DATE, THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BECOME A RECALL. *TR
