Seats problem #1

Twice upon driving tonight, I pressed the pedal to accelerate when the light turned green, and the driver seat unlocked and pulled me backwards. If I wasn't holding on to the steering wheel I would have lost control of the car and been involved in an accident. I was able to press the break with the tip of my toe, manage to put the car in park, readjust the seat and go back into drive. All this while the light had turned green and cars were accelerating behind me. This happened twice tonight!! I am taller than my mom, but she is the primary driver of this vehicle. And this has started happening more often. I am very concerned for her safety with this issue driving to work and heading home. And she is a senior driver. You can imagine my concern. . . We always check the seats when first getting into the car to make sure everything is ok. But now the seat is dislodging without warning ??. Could this possibly be a recall issue we missed? I think it's time to trade in this vehicle for a different one if nothing can be done.

Seats problem #2

While driving the right arm rest broke off. After checking by ( myself) I found the bolt holding the arm on had broke at the end of the threads. This caused me to fall to the right but I still had control of the vehicle.
