Seat adjustment ranges are sometimes limited and sometimes there is a fault, such as a coin or something falling into one of the runners.
Cars intended for the premium market often have forward/back, up/down and sometimes tilt adjustment for the driver seat while for the small car, basic or budget market usually only have forward or back. Because on average a person who has shorter legs and needs the seat forward will also have a shorter body so enterprising designers have made the seat runners of some models slope upwards to lift the driver as the seat is moved forward.
Adjustable steering columns are fairly common, though only in the rise/fall plane. I haven't seen a telescopic column for many years. What is really needed is adjustable pedals but designers and manufacturers are very reluctant to go down that avenue, though there are companies specialising in such modifications.
You need to be on the ground on your knees with a good light looking under the seat to see if the available adjustment range takes the seat to the true limit of its travel in both directions.
The automatic driver's seat may have been programed not to move forward when the key is in and go back when it's taken out. Or are you saying it doesn't move forward, back and not at all from the control on door panel?
the knob on the left side of the lower cushion if its power seats push it forward, if not power pull the lever under the front of the cushoin UP to move the seat
On ABS light most common problem is ABS control module , they failing left and right.
As for the seat adjustment , sound like you need a new seat switch.
their is a fault with the memory and its a dealer only job because of the encrypted software used which is only readable by the factory via the internet so be prepaired for a bill and half or set the seat then unplug the wires
I have a 2005 Jeep Liberty and the smae lever that tilts the seat also moves it forward and back. Press forward or back on the switch.
Also check for blown fuse or a loose wiring connector under the drivers seat.
Good luck,

You can move the drivers seat back by turning on the power, getting in the seat and position your feet firmly on the fron flor with your back firmly against he seatback, and then engage the switch pushing back - while pushing like hell with your feet. You can actually hear the seat drive shaft turning while the seat moves back. The principle should be the same for moving forward, but pressure would have to be aplide to the back of the seat.
look under the seat and first see if something is jammed under it.... and that the wire that moves with the lever is intact. different instructions if that is a power seat.
power seats?
