What owners wrote
While coming to a stop at a moderate rate of deceleration, I noticed that my drivers seat had forward/backward play in it. The issue was identified when coming to a stop and noticing that my seat back shifted forward (~1/2" of play). I was able to replicate the issue at a stop by shifting my weight in the seat. All motion appears to source from the reclining mechanism, not the seat rails.
Service passenger airbag warning came on continuously. Two trips to the dealer, first time they tried to fix by cleaning a connection $196 and it did not work. Second time they had to replace the passenger presence sensor $636.70. This was not covered under warranty I was told. Car had 68514 miles and was in service 4 years.
