Broken driver seat - 2008 Chevrolet Malibu

no you need a driver side seat

some have a limiter on them some go to a full recline for sleeping..the best way to know is look at the mechanism for fresh broken steel or plastic..at the worst .. replace the seat..

There's a bolt in each corner of the seat frame that goes thru the frame and into the floorboard. Remove these bolts, disconnect any wires, and pull the seat out. Same with the passenger seat if you want to put it on the driver side temporarily. The seat movement control will be on the inside though when you do this. Not a good idea, bit it can be done. Same seats, different actuator lever position.

this can be a few things, you may have a bad motor, or a broken cable to motor or seat track and last maybe a broken track, the best way to diagnose would be to remove the seat flip it over while still conected,meaning; remove the bolts at the bottom of the seat then push seat back toward the rear seat this way you can see the track, now move the controls as you watch the track,it may go sideways instead of straight back or foward this will show you what side is not working from there you can see if its a cable broken or track or motor not turning .

Junkyards, or Car-part.com 95's are a dime a dozen in the local boneyards.

Should just be 4 bolts holding the seat to the floor, and unplug the wires. Only way to fix it is weld it, or get a different base from an auto wrecker.

track its self bolts on after u take the seat out turn it upside town and un bolt the track u can pick them up at any junk yard or salvage yard

Will need to find a good replacement seat at an auto salvage yard.

most cars have four bolts that hold the seats in.  Remove these and unplug the harness and you can inspect everything.

If you have power seats just look underneath the seat and you can unplug the electrical connectors that go to any of the seat accessories. Then you can remove the seat. Sounds like the left side of the seat frame has broken that supports the seat back.
