asked by on July 31, 2016

I can move it backward, kinda forward until it gets stuck about a third of an inch forward on the front left, up down everything but forward. The front left of the chair gets stuck and won't budge. I have made sure nothing is on the track blocking it.. anyone know how to fix it or what the issue is?

My car has 210000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
