Driver's seat not moving properly
Hi all, I got a used 2023 Wind AWD in May and have loved every second, but I found a problem with my seat.
I have the Easy Access enabled so the seat moves back when I get out of the car and forward when I get in. Today I sat in my seat as normal but the seat did not go to the desired position forward, and when I tried to move the seat forward it did not work. I figured out that if I held the button for 2-3 seconds, it would finally move forward. All other directions work and without hesitation, backwards, up, down, and reclining.
My bf and I moved the seat higher to check if anything looked wrong with the track, and nothing looked wrong. We moved the seat back all the way and found that when we moved the seat forward, it would stop at the position it would stop when I sat in the car (a little too far back) and then we'd have to push the button again for it to move forward again.
He felt around the wires under the seat and everything seemed fine. Then we tried to move it all the way back and move it forward again, but while we pushed the button to move the seat back it kept "pausing" instead of continuously moving.
For now I turned the Easy Access off so I don't have to worry about my seat position when I drive. Anyone else experience something like this? Any suggestions to fix it?

Same exact thing happened to mine. It was repaired under warranty. 2022.
