Has anybody else had problems with their drivers seat not reclining. I press the reclining lever and the seat back will go forward but if I try to reclinie it any further it feels like it hits a stop. I don't know what is going on. Any help would be appreciated. It is fairly annoying having to sit with the seat back straight up and down.

There is a recall involving the seat
back adjusters.
Check with your dealer.

Both of my front seats adjusters had to be replaced as well as the seat frames...call the dealer first and tell as they know about this defect....... mine had to be ordered which took 2 weeks, don't just drop it off till they assure you the defective parts are in stock or your car will sit at the dealer with them telling you the parts should be in any day, one of the 3 great lies, laugh!
