Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD MY SEATS GO BACK, THE LIGHTS COME ON AND THE KEY COMES PARTLY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS NOW AND LUCKILY I HAVEN'T HAD AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TO PUSH THE KEY BACK INTO THE IGNITION WHILE TRYING TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL BECAUSE OF THE SEAT GOING BACK I AM TOO FAR FROM THE PEDAL. *JS
