| Drivers seat shifts when accelerating and applying brakes - it began when the vehicle only had 7,500 miles on it. i've had the seat assembly replaced by toyota three times. a technical service bulletin was issued in 2007 and it was then replaced for the fourth time. the issue still exists and toyota told me they won't fix it anymore. i am a loyal toyota owner but this just might change my mind. *tr | |||

| Driver's side seat has developed an annoying knocking noise that occurs most often when accelerating from a stop. dealer was informed and was able to duplicate noise. dealer replaced entire seat frame and tracks but problem recurred months later. dealer has replaced frame and tracks again. but this time there is excessive free play occurring along the right side of the seat because the track latch does not engage properly. major headache. *tr | |||
