So I just hit 119,000--and 5 years 3 days--and have now had my first problem with this amazingly reliable car (besides someone backing into me and caving in the driver's door).
The driver's seat won't stay locked into any of the forward adjustments, it slides all the way to the very back. Also, it feels like the release lever doesn't drop down the way it used to, it seems like it stays in the up position, and when I try to push it down it's just kind of mushy-feeling, and like I said, doesn't drop down and lock-in like it used to.
If anyone has any experience with this problem, I'd really appreciate it if you'd let me know what it might be... there doesn't seem to be anything physically in the way that would prevent the lever from engaging; I looked underneath and everything seems ok but I'm not sure if I have done a thorough enough inspection.
