check your guide rail under your seat, it probably has a coin stuck in the rail.

SOURCE: Driver's seat unable to move forward or backward

There are plastic gears connecting the track to the seat assembly. Whne one of these strip the seat will only work or move to one side. Infiniti does not sell a simple fix. You are looking at buying an entire seat assembly complete with the module for all the electronics. It will be at a cost of around $950 - $1000. Once that is in, Infiniti must program the seat to the brain of the car, only then can you reset your memory settings.

SOURCE: power seat won't move backwards

I had the same problem some one on one of the web-sites solved his problem by banging on the track rail in the front while pushing the seat button back after a good few bangs it unjamed and works great now .I feel like I saved at least $1500 by dealer rates.

Only the left side of the drivers side seat moves when you try to adjust the seat forward or backward

You don't idicate whether it's a power or manual seat. Assuming it's a manual seat there is a link between the rails under the seat. It can become disconnected preventing the right rail lock from unlocking.

One side of driver seat does not move smoothly or at all.

Unfortunately you need a new seat track assembly. I'm an infiniti tech and have replaced MANY of these tracks.
