Seats problem #1

Driver seat position lock comes loose while driving and seat slides back on its own. Near miss or crash.

Seats problem #2

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.

Seats problem #3

The driver seat was loose. The manufacturer and the dealer refused to fix this problem, and stated that this was normal. Scc.

Seats problem #4

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.
