The problem occurred for the first time when the car was maybe only 3 years old. It happened on the passenger side. Eventually I found a TSB and lubricated the seat back release after removing the upholstery. This TSB was often discussed early in Gen5, BTW.
A few years later, the driver side release stopped working but I didn't care because it was easy to use the passenger side only to access the rear seat. No one ever sits there; access is for cleaning and cargo only.
Now, in late 2022, the passenger side is jammed again, so I'm wondering whether anyone has found a mod that works better than just lubricating the obviously ill-designed mechanism.
