Sounds like either something is jammed in the seat track and/or the track has to be replaced and that is a complicated operation there as I have replaced a number those. everything has to go back exactly as it came out or you have to take it out again and correct it and that in itself is no fun. Like I said, it may just be something jammed in the track but also, it could be a broken seat motor drive shaft and in which, the seat track or more commonly referred to and "seat module". That should be left to someone who has ahd experience in replacing them because they can be very tricky. I hope this helps you, Jesus loves you, John 3:16-17 (KJV)

SOURCE: Power driver seat will not adjust forward or back.

My intuition tells me that the 6 way power seat track forward / reverse motor is bad. Sometimes you can replace just the one motor but most often a whole new power seat track is the only way to repair. It is not too bad to replace but the seat will have to be removed from the car and placed upside down to access the track assy. There are 2 bolts in the front of the seat and 2 bolts in the back of the seat that hold it down to the floorboard. Once it is loose you can rock the seat backwards to access and unplug the electrical connectors.

I'm assuming you have manual adjustment seats. There is a spring underneath the seat that locks the end of the lever into corresponding notches in the seat frame rail. That spring has either fallen off or broken.

How to guide to electric seat removal on a 2005 chevy malibu
I'm assuming it is the front seats you are removing. There is two systems used to mount front seats, 4 bolt and 2 bolt. Both are easy to deal with. I think the Malibu uses the 2 bolt setup.
Slide the seat all the way forward and look at the rear end of the two runner grooves. There will be a bolt in each runner going down into the floor. It has a star shaped hole in the head. This is a 'Torx' head bolt, either a T40 or T45 size. Remove these bolts. You will probably need to unbolt the seatbelt mount on the floor as well. Tilt the entire seat forward and carefully unclip the electrical wire that is underneath the seat. While it is tilted forward pull the entire seat backwards. It should unhook at the front and lift out.
These seats are very heavy so be careful when lifting them out. Fitting is the opposite to this. Tilt the seat forward and hook in the front ends, connect the wire underneath, lower the rear end and bolt it down.
The four bolt system has two bolts at the front end of the rails instead of the two hooks.

2005 impala power seat will not move.... Have been advised that worm gear is shot. How do Ie seat forward to remove?
If the gear is shot then the seat is not going to move you will have to hand wrench it loose. To ensure this is your problem un plug the motor and test the connection with a test light to ensure there is power. If there is you may be able to engage the motor and push the seat forward and back. Good luck this is a pain when the gear is shot or broken, there is no easy fix.

2009 impala driver side power seat won't move up/down, makes whirring sound when attempted. Moves forward backward. Passenger seat works properly.
Before you do any of the expensive things disconnect and reconnect the wiring to the seat I had the same exact problem with my 2009 Chevy Impala and was ready to take it to the dealer when I disconnected the power cables to it and reconnected them I found that one of the Harnesses was loose and the problem was solved

Automatic driver seat broken, how to fix/cost
The back and foward movement uses the same motor. So if it moves one way but not the other it's most likely the switch. Try to blow it out or clean it out. If pop or somthing spilled on it you will prob. need to pull switch out and take it apart to clean contacks inside.

My daughter's 2005 grand prix will not start. How can she get in the trunk to get to her jumper cables because the key fob won't work to open the trunk and the inside trunk release won't work...
In your situation I think your best bet is going to be taking out the back seat. Luckily this is very easy and will allow you easy access to your truck and jumper cables. Okay in order to remove the back seat you will have to have a socket set. There should be 2 bolts holding the bottom of the seat down and you can find them on the floor on the front part of the rear seat. One bolt on the driver side and one bolt on the passenger side. After you get those bolts out you should be able to remove the bottom section of the seat. If you can not look for two more bolts on the back part of the seat. You will have to look between the back of the seat and the bottom part. After you take those two bolts out both parts of the seat should be free and you can remove them. I hope this helps.
