The driver’s seat automatically adjusted while the vehicle was in drive, causing me to lose the ability to reach the pedals and almost resulting in a collision. While driving my 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC with my children in the car, I stopped at a stop sign when the driver’s seat suddenly began adjusting itself backward. My husband also drives this vehicle, and because I had not logged into my driver profile, the car began moving the seat and controls to his saved position, while the car was in drive. The seat moved so far back that I could not reach the pedals. I lost control of the vehicle while another car was turning into my lane. The only way I avoided an accident was by quickly putting the car into park before the seat adjustment completed. This was a terrifying and dangerous situation. Automatic seat adjustments should never be allowed while the vehicle is in motion or in drive. This design flaw puts drivers, passengers, and surrounding traffic at risk of serious injury or death
