When the upper portion of the driver's seat is left alone overnight, it switches positions by the next morning (ie the upper seat is always back further than where it was left the prior evening - so it happens overnight). This seat is electric, not manual. When this occurs, the vehicle is sitting and not running. This has happened multiple times (over 20 times).

Might happen today and not again for several weeks or more than a month but could happen again tomorrow. Seat adjustment switch works normally otherwise. Dealer unable to diagnose or duplicate problem. No further assistance offered other than we must be rubbing against the adjustment switch as we exit the vehicle. This would be impossible since the seat adjustment switch requires continuous activation rather than a momentary input while exiting the vehicle.

Hello, the head restraints on our new Cx-5 are far to forward for proper posture. If we sit upright, the backs of our heads actually touch the head restraint forcing our chins to our neck. I understand the need for good head restraints, but at the cost of proper posture? I see the test dummy biorid has horrible posture with it's head far forward of it's shoulders. This has long term bad effects for your spine to sit like this.
