Driver seat electrical adjustment will move itself backwards while car is moving. There is no pattern to this problem, it is random.

When I am driving the car the seat will move back on it's own volition into exit position. This happens when it goes over a bump or if the key is jiggled in the ignition. It happened in multiple situations last week. Very frightening as I have to scramble to reach the brake and also move the seat back into position. I have turned off the easy exit option so this has stopped it but it upsets me that I no longer have a feature that I paid for.

While driving the vehicle the interior light turns on and the seat moves back into the park position. This is a safety issue as it is difficult to reach the pedal/brake and it happens without notice. There is no rhyme or reason to this problem. I have seen multiple posts regarding this issue and don't see how it cannot be a recall for safety reasons

After approximately 90,000 miles the dome lights turned on and automatic seats move back while driving. This issue persists and often occurs several times. There are several complaints of this issue found online. It is not due to a heavy key chain as I only have the fob and key attacked. This is a safety issue as the seats pull the driver away from the pedals and steering wheel. Investigate! Recall!

While driving, the drivers power seat will move to the "open door position" causing my feet to be too far from the pedals. This is extremely dangerous. I have seen many reports regarding this issue.

I also have the same issue with the ignition causing the seats to move the easy exit position. This happens constantly while driving and is very unsafe. The interior lights come on as if the key was turned off and removed from the ignition, also causing the seat to move the exit position. When this happens, I am unable to reach the pedals and scramble to correct the issue. I see where this is happening to quite a few other owners. Something needs to be done before someone is seriously hurt or killed.
