What owners wrote

I was driving down driveway and hit the memory seat button my my naviagator and the seat started to move forward and kept going forward until it reached the very farthest it could go forward. The lights inside were going crazy and the outside mirrors kept going up and down and acting crazy. I took the vehicle in on 8/20 and they found 7 electrical faults with the vehicle. On august 25, 2003, found out I had been carrying triplets but lost two and am now pregnant with one. Do not know if that was related or not.
