“The front driver seat moves forward on its own while I'm driving and presses me up against the steering wheel. It's a random occurrence and I can't detect any pattern. Sometimes it can be move back into position, but not always immediately. Apparently there was a recall on this for other 2007 azeras, but it doesn't apply to my VIN. Yet, it is happening on my car.”
NHTSA complaint #11171833, filed 2019-01, 145,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10609542, filed 2014-07, 56,000 miles“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.

NHTSA complaint #10609541, filed 2014-07, 56,000 miles“The power seat-back starts to lean forward pushing the driver into the steering wheel. The driver must reach down and tilt the seat-back control the opposite way to overide motion. There is a short delay before the seat-back reacts. It is becoming more frequent and also happens when car is parked and unoccupied. Occasionally the seat-bottom will also move forward aspecially when parked. We are scheduling service with our dealership and will provide update after service.”
NHTSA complaint #10721749, filed 2015-05, 140,000 miles“About two weeks ago, the back portion of the front driver's side seat began moving forward automatically while I was driving the car. I also noticed that when the car is parked the seat would move forward as well. When the seat moves forward, I am put very close to the steering wheel, which makes it difficult to steer and interferes with my ability to brake quickly. Also, because I am so close to the steering wheel, I believe that if the air bags were to deploy I would be unnecessarily harmed. …”
