2nd Row automatically reclining without touching the button

[ryanjeffords]

This is an odd one. I have a 7 seater and I've noticed when driving around with just passengers in the 2nd row, everything is fine. But when I put my 6 year old in the 3rd row and slide the 2nd row forward, while we're driving, the 2nd row (on the driver's side) will engage the recline motor automatically. At first I thought my teenager was playing with the recline button, but I confirmed today that he definitely isn't.

During a 30 min drive with the 2nd row slightly forward, I heard the seat motor engage probably a dozen times, and since someone was sitting in the seat, it just reclined automatically.

I have no idea if I'll be able to replicate this for a service advisor, but... wish me luck. I'm going to schedule an appointment.

This has happened to us many times. Did you get your issue resolved with a service advisor? My kids don't touch bottom trigger at all. Usually reclines when there is weight on there for some odd reason.
