Wonky front seats all within 2 weeks

Both my front seats are acting up.

Passenger side: Headrest does not raise or lower; seat back does not move; seat cushion moves forward or back while the front of the cushion raises or lower but rear of the cushion does not. Zero sounds from the switches.

Driver side: Headrest does not raise or lower; seat cushion moves forward or back while the front of the cushion raises or lower but rear of the cushion does not.

I noticed the passenger side malfunctions about 2 weeks ago while the driver side was okay until now. Can it be that both switches decided to pack it in? Why the multi-malfunctions at the same time with each switch? I need some expertise here.
