Went for my first drive of the year with my wife. Just great sun and all. Then my wife complained about her seat travelling forward when I braked or when I stepped on the gas pedal. So I checked out the seat and it does slide about half an inch either way. What should I look for. Guy Lemieux

There is a common issue of the airbag light coming on after taking the seats out and putting them back in. To avoid this do not leave the key in the ignition when removing the seats. The seat motors should work without the key in the ignition. If the worst happens and the airbag light comes on after putting the seats back in, there is a SRS reset scanner that can be bought quite cheaply. Well cheaper than taking it to dealer anyway. I did mine last week, don't be afraid to file down the new bushes until the middle section can slide in between, if it is too tight a fit the motor will not be able to move the seat back or forth when you put it back in.
