Seat sliding/movement has enough force to cause interruption of contact with vehicle's gas/brake pedals. Forceful forward motion of sliding seat has enough momentum on driver's side to cause human impact on the steering wheel when a hard stop/brake engaged. Passenger side seat slides with enough force to cause head to impact windshield on sudden/hard stop. …”
