Consumer Description

THE DRIVER SIDE POWER SEAT OF MY KIA OPTIMA 2006 HAS STUCK IN A VERY AWKWARD POSITION AND I HAVE BEEN USING A COUPLE OF PILLOWS TO ADJUST MY DRIVING POSITION. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL AUTO REPAIR SHOPS IN MY LOCALITY BUT THE PARTS FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM IS NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE... GOOGLE, EBAY, PARTSPLUS... THERE WAS NO DEFINITIVE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE THE POWER SWITCH OF THE SEAT STOPPED FUNCTIONING ALL OF A SUDDEN. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO KIA USA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT THEY DID NOTHING TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. *TR
