when you tilt the back of the passenger seat forward, the whole seat slides forward. when you tilt the back or the passanger seat back is it supposed to slide back? mine does not but, i think it use to, or am i just going crazy!

Yes...it's supposed to go back...but it doesn't go all the way back...but again...yes it's supposed to go back. Have the dealer fix it.

Just got coupe 3 weeks ago and I have experienced this same issue....comes and goesw though so I am sure when I take it in to the dealer it will work just fine!!!!

Follow-up if you have yours looked at

 

I'm having that problem with my driver's seat. It goes forward on it's own little random schedule.

One day my driver seat didn't go forward when I flipped the seatback forward. After the next short trip, everything worked fine again. It never did this before, and it hasn't done it since. But, then again, I really rarely flip the driver seatback forward. The funny thing is that the forward/reverse button worked just fine so I know it wasn't a problem with the motors or a circuit breaker that had tripped due to a jammed condition. I suspect that it was a problem with the switch/sensor that determines if the seatback is flipped forward.

I read some posts on FA about this problem and I think it has something to do with the hand brake. AFAIK, the hand brake has to be on in order for the seats to move back and forth...
Am I mistaken???

 

also the car doors need to be open for the seats to move forward and back

Yes, Speedoholic, you are correct. Thank you. Sure enough, my driver seat doesn't go forward if I don't have the hand brake (only 6MT) fully pulled. I usually use my hand brake when I park, but I must not have got it fully pulled the time I had the problem. TrentaCinque, that's probably your problem too since I see you also have a 6MT.

tabz is right doors need to be open for it to slide forward

what about sliding back?

 

Handbrake huh. How simple is that. Now that I think about it I haven't been using my handbrake 100% of the time. Thanks a lot.

Hmmm...I am a 5AT and I have NEVER used the handbrake, si I don't think that was my issue......could have been the door issue since I think I was on the driver side trying to get the passenger seat to slide back with it's door closed. I sometimes would leave that seatback up to additionally shade the seat from the sun......I'll test that theory but sounds plausible....unfortunately my wife took the car to Memphis so I can't try it till friday night....
