Default Found my seat in the lower reclined position

I went to my car today and found my drivers seat in the lower reclined position. I didn’t manually put it in this position and when I push my memory seat it went back to how it normally was. Any guesses?

Did you leave the car unlocked?

I had a similar occurrence 2x this winter. Front windows were lowered & sunroof partially opened. Fortunately car was in the garage at the time, otherwise it would have been full of rainwater.

My battery is a bit old (3/16).

Edit: Car was left unlocked.

Lol.... the responses are hilarious. It kinda freaked me out. Just wondering if it has happened to anyone. Maybe a sign or some weird electronic gremlins?

That sounds like the unlock button on the key fob was inadvertently held, which lowers the windows and opens the sunroof.

This is the first post on this forum about an issue with seat position mysteriously changing.

Did you adjust the seat at all that day or somehow bump the switch?

Nope. My wife and I saw John Wick Friday night...drove in the garage and got out of the car when we went home and found my seat in that position the following morning.

Even if I bumped the switch it wouldn't fully recline like that would it?
