Default Seat back problems

Been a long time since Ive posted.
On my three year old coupe, I have experienced seat control problems.
My seats are stock and oh, do I wish I would have upgraded when I ordered the car.
However, the control handle was replaced last year on the day we left for Bowling Green, preventing us to move the seat back. Otherwise we could not have made the trip, and now, one year later, I cant put the seat back in a middle position. It either goes way forward or way back. That is on the drivers side.
Has this been a problem for anyone else with standard, 2012 coupe seats?????

Just for ducks, is it impossible to get upgraded seats for this car? I have been told no by two dealerships, but I wonder if somewhere, somehow it can be done. I know it would involve the computer or electrical system but I thought anything could be done on these cars.

I'm sure people have swapped out the electric seats for bucket seats. So it stands to reason that you'd be able to swap out for a duplicate of whats already there...at least to me. But I haven't attempted anything like that myself so...not sure.
