ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, THE BACK PORTION OF THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BEGAN MOVING FORWARD AUTOMATICALLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED THE SEAT WOULD MOVE FORWARD AS WELL. WHEN THE SEAT MOVES FORWARD, I AM PUT VERY CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STEER AND INTERFERES WITH MY ABILITY TO BRAKE QUICKLY. ALSO, BECAUSE I AM SO CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL, I BELIEVE THAT IF THE AIR BAGS WERE TO DEPLOY I WOULD BE UNNECESSARILY HARMED. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP ON DECEMBER 17, 2014 BECAUSE OF A SEPARATE RECALL NOTICE I WAS SENT. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STOP LAMP SWITCH AND ADDED CORROSIVE PROTECTION TO THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF MY CAR. WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER IF HE COULD RUN A DIAGNOSTIC ON MY CAR WHILE IT WAS BEING REPAIRED, HE INFORMED ME THAT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $130 DOLLARS. THE BTS WIRE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HAS ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED, AT 24,144 MILES, SO I BELIEVE THAT THERE COULD BE A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY WIRE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THE ISSUES I AM NOW HAVING WITH THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON FOR A FEW DAYS/WEEKS THEN GOES OFF.PASSENGER SEATBELT INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON SOMETIMES WHILE PASSENGER IS WEARING SEATBELT SOMETIMES THE SAME LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON THEN GOES OFF WITH NO PASSENGER AND NO WEIGHT IN THE SEAT. I HAVE PERSONALLY PAID FOR A NEW BATTERY AND TWO STARTERS WHICH MORE THAN LIKELY DIDN'T NEED REPLACED BECAUSE MY CAR STILL WON'T START AT RANDOM TIMES. I FIRST EXPERIENCED IT NOT STARTING AROUND 79,000 MILES I COULD TELL IT WASN'T THE BATTERY CAUSE I TRIED JUMP STARTING IT AND ALL THE WHILE THE DOOR CHIME LIGHTS AND RADIO ALL WORKED FINE. SO I REPLACED THE STARTER ONLY TO HAVE IT NOT START THE VERY NEXT DAY. ANYWAY A WIRE WAS REPLACED TO THE STARTER AND ALL WAS FINE FOR ABOUT 10,000 MILES AND THE SAME NON STARTING ISSUES OCCURRED AGAIN AND AGAIN. SEEMS LIKE I JUST KEEP TRYING TO START IT AND MAYBE THE 8TH OR 25TH TIME IT STARTS..
