FRONT POWER DRIVER'S SEAT MOVES BY ITSELF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THE SEAT LEANED FORWARD ABOUT 45 DEGREES ITSELF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SEAT SWITCH OR ANY BUMPS ON THE ROAD. THE SUDDEN MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT, WITHOUT ANY KIND OF WARNING, CAUSED COLLAPSING DRIVER'S UPPER BODY TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND PUSHING DRIVER'S HEAD DOWNWARD. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THAT POSITION. DRIVING SPEED WAS NOT RELATED TO THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER IN EL PASO, TEXAS. AT FIRST, THE SERVICE ADVISOR DID NOT BELIEVE MY COMPLAINT, BUT THE SEAT MOVED ITSELF IN FRONT OF HIM, EVEN WHILE THE CAR WAS STOPPED AND NO ONE WAS SEATING ON IT. THE SERVICE ADVISOR RULLED OUT IF THAT WAS SEAT SWITCH PROBLEM AND RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE SEAT TRACK WHICH WOULD COST MORE THAN $2,000. *TR

ALL KINDS OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS LEAST OF WHICH IS THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER QUIT WORKING. THE POWERED PASSENGER SEAT CAN NOT BE MOVED ANY DIRECTION. AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AFTER HITTING A FAIRLY SMALL POTHOLE. AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON FOR A FEW DAYS/WEEKS THEN GOES OFF.PASSENGER SEATBELT INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON SOMETIMES WHILE PASSENGER IS WEARING SEATBELT SOMETIMES THE SAME LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON THEN GOES OFF WITH NO PASSENGER AND NO WEIGHT IN THE SEAT. I HAVE PERSONALLY PAID FOR A NEW BATTERY AND TWO STARTERS WHICH MORE THAN LIKELY DIDN'T NEED REPLACED BECAUSE MY CAR STILL WON'T START AT RANDOM TIMES. I FIRST EXPERIENCED IT NOT STARTING AROUND 79,000 MILES I COULD TELL IT WASN'T THE BATTERY CAUSE I TRIED JUMP STARTING IT AND ALL THE WHILE THE DOOR CHIME LIGHTS AND RADIO ALL WORKED FINE. SO I REPLACED THE STARTER ONLY TO HAVE IT NOT START THE VERY NEXT DAY. ANYWAY A WIRE WAS REPLACED TO THE STARTER AND ALL WAS FINE FOR ABOUT 10,000 MILES AND THE SAME NON STARTING ISSUES OCCURRED AGAIN AND AGAIN. SEEMS LIKE I JUST KEEP TRYING TO START IT AND MAYBE THE 8TH OR 25TH TIME IT STARTS.. RUNNING OUT OF WORDS AND THEY WOULD ONLY LET ME PICK 3 PARTS TO WRITE ABOUT ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH BRAKES CRACKS AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG ON DASH ETC. *TR

POWER SEAT ON DRIVERS MOVES UP BACK AND TILTS THE BACK OF SEAT TOWARD STEERING WHEEL PINNING DRIVER .TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

DRIVING ON FREEWAY, DRIVER SEAT LEANED FORWARD AS FAR AS POSSIBLE. IF THE SEAT HAD BEEN POSITIONED FORWARD FURTHER, DRIVER WOULD HAVE BEEN PUSHED AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL! HAPPENED RARELY AT FIRST, THEN BEGAN TO DO IT CONSTANTLY. WHEN SEATBACK IS PUSHING FORWARD THE BUTTONS ARE USELESS. BY CONSTANTLY HOLDING THE BUTTON TO TILT THE SEAT BACKWARDS, EVENTUALLY IT WOULD GO BACK. EVENTUALLY I DISCONNECTED THE FUSE FOR THE ELECTRIC SEAT SO THE CAR WAS USABLE (BUT YOU COULD NOT ADJUST THE SEAT). THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO HAVE HAPPENED ON A DECENT NUMBER OF THESE CARS. SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET FOUND MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. COST TO FIX IS OUTRAGEOUS (BASICALLY NEW SEAT/SYSTEM). *TR

WHILE DRIVING CAR ON A FLAT SURFACE AT 40 MPH THE AUTOMATIC SEATS MOVED ALL THE WAY BACK. I QUICKLY MOVED THEM FORWARD AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE WHEN THEY MOVED AGAIN. I HAD TO PULL OVER. I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE WITH THE SEAT BACK SO FAR. THE SEATS CONTINUED TO MOVE IN BACK POSITION WHILE IN PARK OR DRIVE. AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP WAS MADE THE FOLLOWING DAY. *TR
