“The driver side seat. Electrical adjuster button stopped working for the forward position. It will move up , down & backward. I was out of town & when I stopped in my daughters driveway , moved the seat back, as my phone slipped under the seat. I was horrified when I couldn't move it back. I had over 150 miles to drive back home. I had to use several pillows to reach the steering wheel so I could drive back home. I did some research and found out that many Subaru owners of various models and make years have had the same problem , with driver side forward switch. …”
