Electric seat switch get stuck in foward & reverse!! Anyone else?

This has happened a few times. Moving the seat with the power switch- it get stuck in the on position- pushing me all the way forward or all the way back. Good thing I'm short or it might have crushed me knees.

ANyone else experience this?

What is probably happening is the plastic trim piece on the outside of the driver's seat (the one the switches are on) is separating from the similiar trim piece in the front of seat. If you follow the trim around to the front you will see a snap together joint. My guess is you will also see it has come appart some. What is now happening is the switch is rubbing on the trim piece since the trim is bulging outward some. I glued mine in at the joint and the problem went away.
