| While driving our 2006 hyundai azera on route 81 south the drivers seat started moving forward on it's own.i could not stop it.the seat pinned me aganist the steering wheel.also the back of the seat also move forwad and essentially pinned me aganist the steering wheel.i could not get the seat to go back for about a minute and a half. i got the seat to reset and it did the same thing a couple minutes later. this is very dangerous and only the fact that i am a very experienced driver avoied a catastropic high speed accident. fuccillo hyundai of syracuse replaced the switch and charged us $ 202.56 i cotacted hyundai corporate and reported what had happened and requested reimbursement they refused saying the car had 109000 miles on it;i believe that this is a latent safety defect and this should be fixed at no charge.you need to rember that i could not stop the seat from moving no matter how many times i tried to activate switch. the only way i could stop the seat from pinning me aganist the steering wheel was to remove the fuse. | |||

| Several weeks ago the drivers side power seat back in my 2006 hyundai azera would incline fully forward without warning pinning me to the steering wheel. the seat bottom could be moved back by manually operating the bottom switch to move the entire seat assembly back. after the dealer replaced the incline motor and 2 different seat switches, the entire seat now moves without warning to a full extended position. the entire seat moves to the fully extended position overnight while parked in the garage. the movement is unpredictable and is considered a safety issue. *tr | |||
