Hi All -
I'm hoping I could get a little info regarding my 2001 CL's passenger seat.

The seat bottom no longer moves forward and backward, but the back part still reclines normally.

Does this indicate a blown motor? If so, any idea on parts or repair costs?

Thx in advance for your help.

I am not sure if this indicates a broken motor or maybe your tracks are dirty. Can you see underneath if there is anything stuck in the gears? Try this link for the prices on the seat parts:

Good luck.

Thanks for that link.
It is interesting now because I thought maybe one motor ran both functions, but it seems like it's two separate motors.

Would an Acura dealership allow me to buy the motor myself and bring it to them to install?

I'll have to have my husband get on his hands and knees and check the tracks, though. I'm pretty sure it's the motor because it clicks when you pull the slide, it just doesn't go anywhere...

my driver side motor broke, it moves back and forth but doesn't recline

dealership gave me a $500+ quote

Dealerships won't allow you to buy the parts yourself and bring them to them to install but small shops will in many cases.
