“While driving my 2001 mercedes c240 at freeway speed. The automatic easy exit feature shorted out causing my seat to automatically move all the way backwards so that I could no longer reach my clutch, brake or gas pedal. In addition to this my steering wheel moved itself upwards as far as it could go. I nearly wrecked my car when this happened, however I was able to reach my brake pedal by scooting way forward in the seat, and I also was able to push the stickshift into neutral, and pull to the shoulder. …”
