All Seats Complaints
Tried to get in Tesla evening of 12-11-23. Drive car seat pulled all the way forward and to the steering wheel where the driver could not breath easily. After opening the door was able to pull the seat back and pushed to go to pre-set driver profile. The driver seat repeated the same procedure while pinning the driver to the steering wheel and making it difficult to breath. Driver was able to retrieve barely the seat back. After some research online this has happened to very few owners/drivers. For one of them this occurred while they were driving on the highway. This continue to occur on new/er models as well. Extremely dangerous maneuver that could be fatal if occurred while driving. If occur while not driving can be extremely dangerous due to the suffocating space or lack of it for the driver, therefore causing severe back, chest, or stomach injuries.
