As the seat moved backward, my feet could no longer reach the brake pedal. At the same time, the car began to move forward, and I lost control of the vehicle, resulting in a collision that damaged the right side doors. …”
NHTSA complaint #11692559, filed 2025-10“The driver’s seat automatically adjusted while the vehicle was in drive, causing me to lose the ability to reach the pedals and almost resulting in a collision.

The seat moved so far back that I could not reach the pedals. …”
