Consumer Description

WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED YELLOW. IT REQUIRED MEDIUM BRAKING EFFORT. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE DRIVERS POWER SEAT ACTIVATED ITSELF AND MOVER ~ 2 INCHES FORWARD WHICH IN TURN ENDED UP APPLYING FAR MORE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THAN WAS INTENDED. COULD HAVE CAUSED A VEHICLE BEHIND ME TO HIT MY TRUCK. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO VEHICLE BEHIND ME AT THE TIME. I IMMEDIATELY CHECK THE PLACEMENT OF THE SEAT BELT TO SEE IF IT COULD HAVE ACTIVATED THE POWER SEAT SWITCH. THE SEAT BELT WAS NOT NEAR THE POWER SEAT SWITCH. *TR
