Description of the problem | The electric motor controlling the reclining of the seat back has failed. Leaving the seat back in a reclined position with no way to move the seat back into an upright appropriate driving position. It is incredibly difficult to drive because i am unable to rest my back on the seat and have to hold myself upright at all times. This seat failure occurred sometime around mid-november, and on friday may 27th i nearly experienced a collision with a stray dog in my neighborhood due to my poor viewing angle of the road when i was resting my back against the permanently reclined seat-back. Now i drive with back off the seat-back so i can better see the road, but if i get into an accident, there is no upright seat support against my back to hold my body in place and minimize trauma. |
