    Usually when you recline a seat, there is a spring that helps assist the seat back to an upright position. In my Prius, once you recline a seat, returning it to upright requires actually pulling it back up. My question is, did I get a couple of bad seats, or do all Prii exhibit this behavior? I don't want to look like a fool at the service dept. if this is normal; otherwise I want it fixed.

    Mine does it, too. If I lean all the way forward, the seat will actually move forward itself, but if I'm even slightly leaning on it, it goes back.
