Owner Complaints (2)
Your driver's seat slides back and forth on its own while you're driving, and the lumbar support and other seat cushioning also shift unexpectedly without you touching any controls. This can be distracting and uncomfortable during operation. The issue likely involves a faulty seat track mechanism or electronic seat adjustment motor that needs repair or replacement.
