Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVE AT 72 MPH ON A STRAIGHT, DRY INTERSTATE, I MOVED MY SEAT BACKWARD. SOMEHOW DURING THE PROCESS, I MUST HAVE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. BECAUSE THE CAR BEGAN TO FISHTAIL. FOR SEVERAL SECONDS THE CAR FISHTAILED, WHILE I HELD THE WHEEL STEADY UNTIL IT RETURNED TO NORMAL STEERING. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER HALF A CENTURY AND NEVER HAD A CAR FISHTAIL ON ME BEFORE. I FEEL THAT WHAT HAPPENED TO ME WAS NOT NORMAL AND IS UNSAFE.*AK
