Power drivers seat moves on its own. It moves forward with the back seat rest pushing me and actually pinning me into the steering wheel this occurs both while parked with the engine in the off or running, and in while the vehicle is being driven at any speed. The motion of the seat varies from sever to minor movement. It does not make any different if on the highway or urban streets. Unknown cause at this time.

1. When I drove the car, the power seat sometimes automatically went back to the end. And, I almost can't hit the brake.

Then, it happens again after few drives. 2. It happens every two or three times when I drove the car. 3. I was told that the track was replaced. But, the car still have the problem.

I had ABS failure light on aug 27th, 2013. When I checked with my friend, I found out he has the same issue in his car. We both purchased the same type of cars from the same dealer in april 2008. The warranty expired just a few months ago. The timing of the issue is puzzling to me. How come both cars have ABS system failure during the same week? *jb

Since the dealer will not take ownership - it is costing us $463 to get fixed so the car will pass inspection. *tr

While driving, suddenly ABS indicator, ESC off indicator and "ABS system failure" message on dashboard showed up and had to make emergency stop since all of these scared me. Also scared me that vehicle's ABS and stability control stop working. - after started driving slowly - some noise from front wheels were coming. Went to dealer and told us that issue with "wheel speed sensor" and "tone wheel" damaged.. Why these sensors are exposed to road and damaged suddenly that make safety issue during driving and may have caused accident. *jb
