The side power seat control panel got loose. The power adjustment worked sporadically after that. Several times the seat spontaneously moved forward all the way to the steering column.
Due to the clear safety hazard it posed, I disconnected it.
Of note, I am not overweight at 5'9" and 155 lbs. Overall, it is my opinion that it is a design flaw. The car sits a little higher than most, and in normal entering and exiting of the car, there is some pressure that inadvertently gets applied to the side of the seat. The control panel is a plastic panel attached to the car seat side.
I checked for recalls, of which there were none, which surprised me due to the safety hazard. The dealer agreed to look at it, but would charge me. Another mechanic told me it would require replacing the seat.
