While driving my vehicle, my driver side seat will move by itself. It's happened several times and is very scary knowing I cant reach the gas or brake pedal while driving when it happens. My heated seat doesnt work properly either I dont know if this is all part of the problem or not. The side airbag on my driver seat also is bulged out more then it should be I believe.

Driver seat moves backwards while driving on multiple occasions. This has started happening october 2017. Since then it has become more frequent and will happen at random so the cause is unknown. Speeds can range from 40 MPH to 70 MPH. Which results in not being able to reach the break or gas pedal. This can be very dangerous in an emergency breaking situation.

When I would turn my vehicle seat will adjust and, now when I am driving the seat moves back by itself. And I have trouble reaching for the brakes. It has something to do with the key ignition switch.

Several times over the past year the drivers seat inadvertently moves forward and back while driving. I cannot associate this movement with any other situation or action. I consider this a safety issue.

Driver's seat moves backward while driving resulting in driver's inability to reach gas/break pedals. Occurs at times when hit bumps, while turning, and/or unknown reasons. Definitely a safety issue and can result in traffic accidents/fatalities. I can make this happen even when the vehicle is in park by tapping the key. Does not happen all the time. Never know when to expect it to happen which makes it more dangerous. Seems to be defective ignition switch.

While driving on a city street I hit a bump and the seat went all the way back. I could not reach the brake pedal and had to manually put the seat forward. Also, the dome lights came on when I braked hard.
