Had the same issue for the past few weeks. Seems to happen after my CEO borrows it for puppy transporting activities. It will be stuck in the fully retracted position for a few days, then magically start to operate after I reset the seat memory. I suspect a limit switch is not operating correctly and lets the column overtravel.
