I have a 19 GTR and mine does not do that so something must be wrong.Thanks, I will check it. When I press 1 or 2 it goes back to the saved position but it is the moment that I open the door (after unlocking it) that the seat moves back, as if it is an option for ease of entrance but it basically hits passengers on the rear seat.
Easy way to check this would be to exit the vehicle, don't lock it then re-open the driver's door and see if the seat moves. If not it's set to the FOB. If it is then reprogram it with the instructions in the link.Yes, it is programmed to got to a preset position when you open the door when unlocked with the fob. This is designed so that if there are 2 drivers and each has their own fob, the seat automatically moves to that preset (1 or2) depending which fob was used to unlock the door. Read very carefully, it's easy to miss a step. After programming the seat, you can then to sync it with the key fob - or not. To program it to a fob, I believe the last step is to press the unlock button on the fob until you hear a single beep.

Here’s another report on the same behavior. Unfortunately there’s no solution been reported yet.Was this ever resolved, khashp?
I've had the same issue as OP for several months. For me, it seems to only happen after the car has sat overnight. On days when I have to run errands, it happens the first time. Then, throughout the day, it does not happen.
* I know how to program each seat button.
* I know how to program each key fob.
* I've changed the batteries in both key fobs.
* I've changed the battery in the car/engine.
* I've checked the 30-amp fuses, and they are fine.
Any other suggestions are welcome. Thanks, all.
OK, so three times this week, when I unlocked my CX-5 and got in, all of my driver's seat memory settings were correct, except the drivers seat was way back towards the rear like an Easy Entry seat function.
For those of you who aren't bored of this discussion by now, I figured out the sequence. Here's the deal:
From a locked state, if I unlock all the doors of my car, either with a double press of the Unlock button on the key fob, or with a double press of the button on the Driver's door, then open the *rear* door first, when I open the Driver's door, the Driver's seat will move back without changing any other seat settings.
This is 100% repeatable on my car, as I tried it around 10 times, with various combinations of using the fob or door button to lock or unlock the car. I will further investigate if it happens regardless of which door other than the driver's door I open first.
Whether this is intentional and whether there is some inscrutable logic to it, I don't yet know. Maybe it is to insure your rear seat passenger is seated before the seat moves back? Maybe it is to insure any rear seat passenger gets their legs squished...
Its' origin and purpose still a total mystery (bonus points if you can identify what movie that phrase is from without Googling it).
Do other CX-5's with seat memory do this? I don't know--try it and see...
Dang! Thanks for sharing this. I'll play around with mine, and see if it works.I have an answer.
Once the seat is programmed for a position- then choose a remote that you will use - simultaneously, push #1 and unlock one time .
Then when you unlock the car - hit unlock 1 time - get in and if you need other doors open , use the door switch- it then wont move .
