Seats problem

The drivers side electric seat controls are causing unsafe driving conditions. I drive with the seat all the way back and down. I have the memory sets all for that position. Problem is when I get back in the car it will be back up and forward al the way. So I will set it back down. Well while IA m driving it will automatically start raising back up and forward. As you can imagine this gets very uncomfortable and feels like I am getting choked to death. I will set it back and it will keep doing that . I will hear clicking and then it will start moving. Sometimes. I will have to hold my finger on the down button to keep it from moving on me while im driving, sometimes it will still move all the way up while I am holding the button down. And then it will get all the way forward and the buttons will not work for me for a while. Im stuck in the forward up position choking and cant do anything about it. Eventually they will start working again nut its a very impossible position to be left in. I don't know why it is doing this. I feel like I have a christine car(from the movie) . I haven't taken it anywhere and not sure where to go. I feel like the dealer would try to hide the problem.
