Question
The drivers power seat on our 2002 camry is stuck in the front position all the way forward. It will not reverse even though the motor still runs, how do we get it to go back ?

Answer
    It may have gone beyond the end of the track.  You could try pulling back on the lower part of the seat while you hold the switch down.  If it's just off of the track it may reengage and go on back.  If this works then you will want to avoid running the seat up too far in the future.  The other possibility is that, if it is a cable-operated seat, the cable has broken.  In that case the seat will need to come out to repair it, but the repair should be fairly simple.  Good luck.
