On my second row seat, the latch the make the seat recline back and to fold down has broken for the 4th time. When I went to pull the latch it did not move the seat the latch was stuck and then it seemed as tho it is just not catching onto anything to move the seat. My vehicle was parked because I was trying to get my kids into the third row seat.

Seat trim on drivers seat breaks allowing seat controls to move seat while vehicle is moving. It can move seat forward or backward without driver doing anything. This trim has broken 4 times with the seat moving twice (2) out of the four (4) times. Kia dealer has replaced trim all four (4) times and acknowledged it is a defect in the trim design, however kia has not issued a recall.
