How many miles do you have now?

Anyone has the powered 3rd row seat failed? The gear in the drive has no protection built in and fails easily.
yes I have and it sucks I really what to get it fixed but have no ideal where to start...
 






2006 limited V8, 211,000 miles. My dad owned it from new, I've had it since about 180k about 4 years ago. Not sure what work he had to do to it, but it never left him stranded, nor has it left me stranded.
The worst that's happened is a bad misfire caused by either a bad plug or coil, but it made it over 100 miles home! Then of course when I went to pull the plugs to replace them, the last one snapped and I had to weight for the tool to arrive to get it out.
Everything else has been normal wear and tear, and I've been driving it pretty hard, towing, off roading, and just letting that V8 sing(muffler delete helps with that)

EDIT
One of my third row seats shredded it's gear. The fix I went with involves removing the motor and JB welding a nut onto the shaft. Then you can use a wrench or a drill to raise and lower the seat. If anyone wants I can try to put a guide together

This would be very helpful to others with this issue.
