Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving on the interstate at highway speed, the power driver's seat began moving forward on its own without any switch being pressed. It didn't stop and kept moving toward the steering wheel. I am 6'3 and normally sit far back, so the seat was pushing me into the steering wheel and I could no longer sit safely or control the vehicle normally. I had to exit the highway abruptly and pull onto the shoulder to avoid a crash. This put me and other drivers around me at risk. Since the incident, the power driver's seat does not respond at all. …”
