Consumer Description

THE POWER DRIVER'S SEAT RECLINES SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. WILL GO FROM ORIGINAL POSITION TO COMPLETELY LAID BACK WITHOUT STOPPING. I CAN'T LET ANYONE TALK SIT BEHIND ME FOR FEAR OF CRUSHING THEIR KNEES OR LEGS. ALSO HAPPENS AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE. WILL WALK BACK TO CAR TO FIND THE SEAT FULLY RECLINED. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR BUT ESPECIALLY ON DAYS WHEN RUNNING ERRANDS AND IN AND OUT OF CAR MULTIPLE TIMES. CAR ALSO HESITATES WHEN ENGINE IS "COLD". SUDDEN LOSSES OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. CAR JUST SEEMS TO NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE AT TIMES.
