My electric driver's seat is stuck in the rear postion. Does anybody know how to free the seat? I've tried everything I can think of. Thanx

 

sounds like a bad switch to me.

 

Thanx joetiii for responding; the switch was the first thing I thought of too, but the up and down positions worked fine, so I went for electrical. I did not find a fuse for the seats so I unhooked the battery for a few minutes. I then hit the switch hard, while not sitting in the seat, and after a few tries, it moved forward OK. I guess it was just stuck, and as usual, the dealer was NO #%&% help at all. The same old mantra "bring it in and we'll put it on the computer".

 

It could be that the switch for forward reverse is intermittent and starting to go. Keep an eye on it and get in to the dealer if it acts up before the 60k is warranty is up.

 

Thanks for responding, I will keep a close eye on the switch. BTW-what is your opinion on switching to synthetic oil on our '07 Outlander with 61,800 miles?

 

Everyone has differing opinions on synthetic. It is my belief that a good Dino oil can go 5-7k depending on driving conditions. if you are going to synthetic to extend your change cycle, then by all means make the switch. Make sure to pick a good brand and use the correct weight.

I have friends who change out Mobil 1 in their Porsches once per year. They don't track the cars and rarely drive more than 2500 miles per year. For that purpose, i think synth is a waste.

 

Thanx joetiii, I guess for the '07 Outlander, it really doesn't make much difference, so I'll advise my daughter to stick with the Dino oil. Funny you should use "Dino" because I actually just sold a 1972 Dino 246 GTS.
