Just following up to see if this was a fix/helped:
I think I have a similar problem...how do I go about accessing the release cable? I saw another post which indicates 2 torx screws on the rear-bottom of the seat need to be taken off, the panel slid down/out of place. Will this allow me to access the cable, or should I be looking for a connection point under the seat?
Thanks!!

Cable adjustment
I had this problem on the passenger side and it was an easy fix. I believe there is a video posted on U tube but basically just need to remove the side panel on the seat. That gives you access to the adjust cable which is attached to the release lever. A simple adjustment with two wrenches to take up the slack and problem solved.
