My 2014 was doing the exact same thing. All I did to fix it was tap on the motor and the arms that raise and lower the back portion of the seat with a hammer..

Just a tap on the front left motor under the seat did the trick. I lightly tapped with a screwdriver and it started moving down immediately.
