| Seats problems |
Driver seat position lock comes loose while driving and seat slides back on its own. Near miss or crash.
When braking or accelerating, the driver's seat slides forward and backward slightly. I have been told this is "normal", but none of my previous cars had this problem and, frankly, it makes me feel unsafe.
The driver seat was loose. The manufacturer and the dealer refused to fix this problem, and stated that this was normal. Scc.
The vehicle was in a rear end collision. The driver side seat back had reclined backwards upon impact, which resulted in the driver sustaining neck and back injuries. Ts scc.
