Hello Friend:

I use to own The Same Vehicle:

#1) Check the Release Handle to See if its Mounted Good and Tight:

#2) Take a Close look at the While Pulling the Release Handle and Let Go to see if it Returns to the LOCK Position on its on.Its Spring Loaded to Return after you Raise Seat to Lock into Place on its own by the Spring.

#3) Check on Both Sides on Each Step. And Make sure theres nothing under your Rear seat Stopping it from Functioning Properly.

#4) If all thats working and its FREE of Obstructions.Then take a Close Look at the Metal Catches on Both Sides, Check them make sure they are Both Securely Mounted.

#5) Now look to see if they are worn out so much that they Just don't Hold the Back of the Seat up anymore.If they look worn or Bent Replace them.

#6) Also check to make sure that the Pins or Bolt Catches are Tight and not Worn.I found out that if when Raising the Back seat up if you Don't Use the Handle that Releases it it Will Eventually Wear or Bend the Hook like Catches and the Stationary Locking Pin out.

This should get your Seat problem Solved just Check each Function of the Back Seat Catches as Described above.

Back seat into upright position

When not using the compartment as storage, the read seats can be returned to the upright position as follows. 1. Pull both sides of the seat up into their upright position. 2. Pull down the seat cushion until it is returned to the original position. 3. Return the head restraints to their proper position. You can figure how to raise the Dodge Caravan rear seats by taking a look as to how they are lowered and locked: https://sherrychrysler.com/dodge-grand-caravan-how-to-fold-the-rear-seats/

For some vehicles such as the F-150, other adaptations are possible: https://www.builtrightind.com/blogs/built-x-design-blog/ford-f-150-secret-rear-seat-storage

On my extended cab, the front passenger seat will not slide all the way back to the lock position

There's probably something in the way. Get under and behind the seat with a flashlight and check the back end of the rails to see if something is there.

I have a 99 Silverado and the passenger side seat back will not lock back into the upright position. Locks fine into reclining positions. What could be the problem?

i had this problem on my 96 chevy, basically theres a set of ratcheting gears that lock the seat in place in the various positions. sometimes over time or due to abuse one side or the other gets stripped out and the seat will no longer lock into place. i found a ripped up seat on Craigslist that was in a part out truck and bought it cheap then took both seats in the an upholstery shop, between the junked out seat (15 bucks) and the labor at the shop (50bucks) it cost me 65 bucks to fix, hope this helps
