Big Problem with 06 G35 Coupe seats
06 G35 coupe 6 sp.. 50k miles. Passenger seat is stuck in the reclined position. Seat will not tilt forward. It moves back & forth on the Rail, but the back part of the seat will not tilt. Took it to dealer the stated warrany was out 13 days ago.. charged me for 2hrs diag.. Then tells me it is the switch and part is $3000... Stated switch is bad and they need to replace the entire seat cushion because the switch is inside of the cushion. Dealer stated if it was the drivers seat, then the part is only $85. I am livid. I might as well just put the $3000 on a new car and get a car with a seat that works. Has anyone else had this problem.

similar but little different problem here...my driver's seat will automatically slide forward anytime weight is applied to the seat ie) sitting on it, or using your hand and leaning into it, as soon as you take the weight off it will stop rolling and you can use the switch to slide it back...needless to say i've been driving with the motor unplugged for some time now cause i can't drive with the seat all the way forward, but what kills me is i can still hear the switch trying to activate while sitting in the seat with the motor unplugged ie) it makes the same exact sound as it would when you use the switch and it makes a little clicking sound...any ideas since i'm out of warranty too?
Guys as a fellow board member, G owner and unfortunately another poor bastard that has this problem I have to say its truly remarkable that no one has figured out a fix to this yet! Honestly guys, I searched and came up with 5 other threads with this exact same problem in the last year alone with one quick easy search. This is pathetic has no one taken the time to figure this out?
I'm currently undergoing this same issue. Seat is out I've tested the connectors to see if the motors are getting power. The three motos beneath the seat are receiving 12v for either actions as they should. However, 2 out of the 3 motors aren't funtioning. Tomorrow I'll continue to look them over more carefully to make sure that this isn't a mechanical issue with the mechanism but at this point I would guess this is faulty motors. My seat aswell was able to recline all the way back but not capable of coming back up. This may be because of the extra work required to do so however, even with assistance its not adjustable.
As many people have asked before, if anyone has figured this one out without the "dealership under warranty" answer I think many members would benefit from this information. I'm a little depressed in thinking that I may be the first one to clear this one up for a whole group of enthusiasts for a car that has been around for nearly a decade.

$3K sounds like BS to me!!!
Anyone make an attempt at taking their seat apart to try and fix? I haven't had this problem yet but I'm sure it can be repaired at a much cheaper price.

Sorry about all the problems you guys have had, really annoying!
My problem is when a passenger wants to get in teh rear seat, I have to press that button on the back of the seat so that the seat moves forward. It does not unfortunately move back to the original position once I fold the seat back into the 'click' position.
Anyone had this problem? It is REALLY annoying at times.
