: : : : : On the seat issue, what usually happens is that only one side of the base will come up, there is a very simple solution that I managed to do with the help of a very skilled friend. But I have not heard about a total failure of the seat yet.

: * What is that solutions becuse I need it now ! Both my seat has the problem ! As for the rear seat - I had 2 guys in the back one of them 6' and the other is 5'10" plus my wife in the front seat (she is only 5'1") and we drove 500miles like that. They didn't wanted to came back with us, but fot childrens they are perfect !

It is simple to do but complicated to write. Basically, the seat has two motors to go up, if the cable of one of them comes off then it will not go up. Get the cable of the motor that does not go up, cut the sleeve up to where the cable is and re-inset in motor. If you change entire cable the problem will come up again and is complicated plus expensive.
