HELP! Problem with power seat

mattryan · 06-26-2015, 09:32 AM

My passenger seat won't slide forward or backwards no matter which button you use the one on the side of the seat or the one under the headrest. However when I fold to seat forward (as if someone were trying to get in the backseat) they both work. Now here's the weird part when I put the seat back into the normal position it just starts moving forward by itself and won't stop

Made an appointment to take it in but they don't have a loaner available for a week and a half

Odd problem. I will be interested to hear about the cause and how it is solved. Just writing to point out that some dealers will rent a loaner (e.g. Enterprise) for their customer if their own fleet is fully deployed.

Good luck with the seat gremlin!
