Consumer Description

WHILE I WAS DRIVING I FELT THE SEAT MOVE AND NOTICED THAT IF I WOULD HIT THE KEY WHILE IT WAS IN THE IGNITION THE DRIVERS SEAT WOULD MOVE BACK AND FORTH SPORADICALLY. ALSO THE DOME LIGHTS FROM FRONT TO BACK WOULD GO OFF AND ON SPORADICALLY WHILE THE SEAT MOVED. THE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT ON THE KEY RING DOES NOT MATTER IT HAPPENS WHETHER YOU HAVE JUST THE KEY OR A WHOLE BUNCH OF KEYS HANGING FROM IT.
