When mechanic arrived, I got into the driver's seat. When he applied electric power to the car battery, interior lights flickered, radio came on, tach needle and other needles cycled and my electric power adjustable seat went full forward and the electric power adjustable steering wheel went full down. This happened in seconds. The engine was not running. I thought I was going to be crushed by the steering wheel. I have a small frame. If I were a bigger person, I would have sustained a crushing chest injury or death.
