GMC Acadia driver side seat reclines but cannot be returned to upright position on GMC Acadia

Some GMC Acadia owners report experiencing issues with the driver side seat reclining but being unable to return to the upright position. These problems may stem from a variety of causes, including the need to reset the seat by disconnecting and reconnecting the battery cables. Additionally, if the seat has a manual switch, it may require operation after the reset. Owners are advised to inspect the lever, motor, wiring, and seat track for any faults or damage that could be causing the issue. In cases where the lever is stuck or broken, replacement may be necessary to resolve the reclining problem. Furthermore, diagnosing the seat recline motor by checking the wiring for voltage and ground can help determine if the motor is at fault. Common causes of stuck seats include faulty wiring, issues with the recline switch, problems with the locking mechanism, and failures in the motor or recline system.
