I set memory seat position 1 and it worked fine. I was driving home at 70 mph and wondered if i should set position 2 for greta. I hit the button memory two and the seat back fully reclined and went all the way back. Being short with short legs i lost control for a second and fought my way to a stop on the shoulder. The seat moved forward but the backrest remained stuck. I drove home slowly and contacted the dealer. It was fixed but i am afraid it could happen again.*ak
