Consumer Description

WHEN ADJUSTING THE DRIVERS SEAT FORWARD AFTER GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE, AND DRIVING, THE SEAT TURNS TOWARD THE MIDDLE CONSOLE. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO SEE WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING, I IMMEDIATELY ADJUSTED THE SEAT TO THE REAR POSITION. THE SEAT IS NOW LOCKED IN THE FARTHEST BACK POSITION AND WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD. THIS RESULTS IN A THE INABILITY TO MOVE THE SEAT FORWARD AND CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE. THE SEAT HAS SOMEHOW DISLODGED ITSELF FROM THE TRACK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THIS HAPPENS SOMETIMES AND THAT IT WOULD COST AROUND 900.00 DOLLARS TO FIX.
