Problem with Driver Seat Adjustment

Has anyone had a problem adjusting the drivers seat. My seat will not move forward. The small pins (two on each side track) release when the seat adjusting handle is raised, but the seat will not slide forward. It sounds as if it is hitting a very secure stop, but it is all the way to the back position. My dealership is 110 miles away, so if I can save a trip to get this fixed I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
MoSmart

Your profile doesn't say what options you have... smart sound system, with subwoofer? You checked under the seat for the obstacle, evidently.

Driver Seat Adjustment

I have checked under the seat and can't see any obstruction, but whatever is stoping the seat from sliding ahead it sounds like it is on the back part of the tracks. I just have the normal comfort package option on the car.

Thanks,
MoSmart

Look in the tracks... I had a similar problem once, turns out a dime fell down into the track and had lodged itself in there. I needed a grippy tool, a light, and a lot of patience to get it out. :P
