| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Related to: most of the vehicle which had power seats on the passenger site. last evening, i laid my cell phone and wallet on the passeger seat befor i started the engine, while i was backing out from the parking lot, i made a small turn, this movement caused my cell phone and wallet slided down toward the right side ended under the right seat. so i stoped the car and bended over the right side to get them out with my right hand, since they were under the seat, i was not able to even reach them. then i used my left hand, tried reach them from under the seat. gues what happened? since my right hand still on the right site of the seat, it accidently pushed the seat move forward button, the seat was moving forward while my left hand still under the seat. because there is a matel object was under, it hurt my left hand badly, luckily i realized i was pushing the botton, i released it on time, so there's no serious injure. had i not release my right hand on time, i would have got a real serious injury. so please start some of your investigation. if possible make a recall recommendation to those vehicle will cause the same safty thread. thanks. yan fang cao |
