    Most likely it is the seat potentiometer. They fail internally, a plastic part breaks and the seat ECU will be confused about the seat's position. It's a case of a $1 part causing a repair of many hundreds. They are identical to some Jaguar cars but can also be fixed, which is in a way also easier because you don't have to take the entire seat apart to fix it (as opposed to replacing it). Search for the word potentiometer in the 456/550 thread.
