PASSENGER SEAT SLIDES ,wont lock - Seat Cars & Trucks

Hi,

Please compare the seat to the other front seat and determine the part that needs to be replaced, visit advanced autoparts to collect the part and then (if skill enough) you can replaced it. Otherwise, you can use a mobile mechanic to help with the replacement.

Thank you.

Dear Nancy,
I am going to do some guessing, and I hope I get it right.
I think you mean the passenger seat slides loosely on it's track whenever you shift gears and accelerate, or brake the car.
There is a release handle that is supposed to lock the seat position selector in place, and it must be not working properly.
I have noticed that on many cars, if a piece of trash, or maybe a coin, gets dropped between the seat and the hump in the middle of the floor, it can lock this mechanism.
Have someone take a really good flashlight or light of some kind and examine the track and see if something is blocking the locking mechanism under the seat.
God bless your efforts.

the spring fall of latch
or the latch dog is bent
just look at it. its obvious. what is going on, a lever.
flashlight in hand , fiddle faddly , oh.

Check the spring which puts tension on the lever to hold it in the lock position this may have dislodged itself or be broken or possibly bent.

There's probably something in the way. Get under and behind the seat with a flashlight and check the back end of the rails to see if something is there.

look under the seat there should be wires going from the lever to the latches that hold the seat in place one of the wires may have broken

The adjusting lever for seat position is not locking into place. On the bottom of seat are runners on each side with holes in them that the adjusting lever tabs will lock in and hold seat in place. The seat slides on the runners if those tabs are raised. There is also a connecting wire or rod from the lever to the other side of seat so when lever is pulled up, tabs on both runners are raised for seat to slide. Something is keeping the tabs from locking into the holes on the runners in your car. Maybe the adjusting lever is broken somewhere, or the wire/rod came loose, or the lever is just dry and sticky and needs a shot of WD40 to loosen it up. If you can't see it and fix it with seat in place, then pull the seat back off for the repair. Good luck. Post back if my explanatiopn is not clear or you still need help.

The middle row seat slides forward to the middle position (and several other positions as well.)

Owners manual explains how to slide rear seat foreard.
Remove middle row seats. Lift handle under 3rd row seat cushion on passenger side. Raise seat cushion up until it locks up. Then lift the lever on the passenger side of seat and pull seat forward until it locks in place.
