The issue is the car seats they don’t go up after reclining . It started with passenger seat. One day I reclined while on 20 min ride . It didn’t go back up . Stayed reclined. Then a couple weeks later while cleaning the car I reclined the driver seat to clean the dust from the top of the seat and the seat did not go back up after recline. After my own research I found out that many people online who own the same vehicle encountered the same issue I have attacked screenshots of the other people encountering same issue.
