2013 CX9 Driver Seat Motor/Track Problems
 

The motor on the driver seat is about to die: when pressing the lever, the seat motor makes grumbling noises like it is struggling and the seat moves slowly. I took it in to get an assessment and am told on the 2013 models, the motor is attached to the track and the whole thing has to be replaced for $2,300 +. Has anyone else experienced this and is there another option like switching out for a manual seat so I don't have to deal with an automatic motor that will die again eventually? Thanks -
