today when i got into my mini my dad tried to adjust the leverage (seat back up or down) on his seat, but the lever does not work anymore!!!! the lever is like stuck! has anyone else ever experienced this problem and wat year do u have?? ive heard of a recall on '02s w/ some seat problems

 

Take a look at this link

Same thing happened to me yesterday at the dealer on their MCS demo. The sales rep took it into the shop and they fixed it in less than 5 minutes. Probably did the same thing as described in the link. Hope this works.

 

I had the same problem, and I called my dealer twice the first guy said 2hrs and the second guy said it could be up to two days. I took it to the dealer just for them to look at it, and it couldn't have been more then 5 minutes and my MINI came back working perfectly.

 

All that they did was switch the part with another that looks exactly the same.

 

just tried it outside! no luck! my inboard lever will not move up at all! it is stiff solid and stuck..... it cannot be moved, therefore my seat cannot be adjusted!

any other help??

 

This wouldn't have occured due to a session of 'How to Motor in a MINI' from the night before, would it? j/k
Had this happen on the MC Loaner that my dealer gave me when I had my MCS in the shop for an oil change. They fixed it right after. Took them about the same 5 minutes to repair it. Not sure what it was.
How far is your dealer? Maybe let them take care of it.
Cheers,

 

dealer is about 1 hour away!!! and it is universal, which i do not perfer compared to Long Beach (where i bought it, 1:45 away)

 

>>This wouldn't have occured due to a session of 'How to Motor in a MINI' from the night before, would it? I'm assuming it's the passenger seat, but if not, call roadside assistance due to safety issues. Keep us posted!
