Is my car is self-aware?

Recently, my car has developed a strange habit. I think it my be trying to kill me.

If I am sitting the drivers seat with the ignition on, not necessarily with the engine running, and someone opens the passenger door...the drivers electric seat base and backrest moves forwards on their own accord to the full length of their travel in a 'crushing' movement.

Is this a HAL 9000 moment? Any thoughts?
