Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I set memory seat position 1 and it worked fine. i was driving home at 70 mph and wondered if i should set position 2 for greta. i hit the button memory two and the seat back fully reclined and went all the way back. being short with short legs i lost control for a second and fought my way to a stop on the shoulder. the seat moved forward but the backrest remained stuck. i drove home slowly and contacted the dealer. it was fixed but i am afraid it could happen again.*ak
