My wife got in our Model Y this evening and the seat wouldn't move forward of backwards. It doesn't matter whether it's for a user setting or moving manually with the controls on the side of the seat. It will move up & down and tilt but when you try to move it forward nothing happens. I tried nudging it forward and I also tried resetting the car (pushing both scroll wheels and holding the brake) to see if it was a software glitch but nothing changed. Has anyone else had this happen?
 
Just an update - I had them look at the seat when I had the heat pump sensors replaced this week. The tech said the bolts that are placed to limit the travel were not adjusted properly and let the seat move too far back. He also recommended putting the seat a mm or two forward of the rear limit rather than at the rear limit.

I've changed the settings so we'll see how things go.
