My 2001 I30, just out of the warranty period. The drivers seat will no longer adjust forward. It appears to be as far back as possible.

The other positions work, the back of the seat will change postitions and the seat will also go up and down.

We have checked for any loose wires, and do not see any.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I wouldn't suspect it in an Infiniti, but I did once use to own a German Luxo brand where one time the driver seat came slightly off the track and another time a penny got stuck in the track. If possible check your seat track carefully with a flash light. You may even want to lubricate the track with WD40 or liquid wrench. I'm not familiar with the power seat switch on the I30, it may be a plug and play one. If it is plug and play and the switch needs replacing (i.e. short-circuit from a beverage drip) you can buy the part and do-it-yourself.

Also, if you regularly have had your vehicle serviced at the same Infiniti dealer, they may do a goodwill repair for freen even if it is out of warranty. It has happened to me.
