Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING, I MOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE BRAKES, AND MY KNEE BRUSHED ALONG THE KEY FOB DANGLING FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE SEATS THEN AUTOMATICALLY RETRACTED TO THE REAR POSITION. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED FOUR TIMES, AND SEEMS TO BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS--PARTICULARLY BECAUSE IT HAPPENS WHEN MOVING MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE. WHILE I REACTED QUICKLY ENOUGH IN THESE NORMAL INCIDENTS, IF I WAS BRAKING TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, I DOUBT I'D BE SO LUCKY. *TR
