Q: Front driver-side seat (part that you sit on) will not move forward or backwards; can you fix this issue?
When 2003 Tahoe started up, the powered front driver-side seat automatically moved forward and it is now not able to be adjusted forward or backwards. The powered seat (sit-down area) is stuck in one position. There was a mild smoldering (mild burning) smell when this happened. The seat is the driver-side front that driver sits on. The part of the seat that supports driver's back works fine. All other powered functions in Tahoe work fine.
