Consumer Description

THE ISSUE STARTED OUT WHILE WE WERE DRIVING; THE SEAT WOULD MOVE TO THE EASY EXIT FEATURE AND THE DOME LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AS THOUGH THE KEY WAS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. IT'S NOW MORE FREQUENT AND HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. TURNING THE KEY SLIGHTLY WILL PUT IN BACK INTO THE DRIVING POSITION. THIS IS A SERIOUS DRIVING HAZARD AS YOU'RE MOVED VERY FAR AWAY FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AS WELL AS THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS. SADLY, IT WILL TAKE A DEADLY ACCIDENT OCCURRING FOR THIS TO BE CONSIDERED A RECALL. *TR
