MY FRONT SEATS RECLINE BUTTONS DON'T WORK PROPERLY. THEY GO OPPOSITE THEN WHAT YOUR DOING. ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY AND I TRIED TO RECLINE THE SEAT BACK AND IT WENT FORWARD. IT CAUSED ME TO ACCELERATE FASTER AND ALMOST HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I NOTICED IT ON NUMEROUS OF BLOGS AND FORUMS. *TR
