| Front Seat Power Adjust problems |
Vehicle has 6 way power seats and a lever which adjusts the seat back to a straight position. When leaning against the back of the seat it causes the back to collapse backwards. The seat back fails to stay locked in the upright position. Manufacturer is giving the consumer $500. 00 towards modification of the seat. To correct the failure the seat has to be ergonomically sound in an upright position. But if this is done the consumer's head will be hitting the roof, per the modification repair shop.
