WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED BACKWARDS. I WAS UNABLE TO REACH THE BRAKE OR GAS AND WAS NEARLY IN AN ACCIDENT AS I WAS UNAWARE AS TO WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE DOME LIGHTS AND THE EXTERIOR EXIT LIGHTS LIT UP AS WELL. SINCE THIS DATE, THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BECOME A RECALL. *TR
