    Both headlamps have been melted by the turn signal/daytime running lamp. Ive had to replace the lamps with led bulbs but the lamp is still burned/melted. Also the drivers side seat has developed space that is unsecure . It wiggles back and forth unsure if this is stress or wear.

    Bought this truck used with 8,000 miles on it. It came with a platinum extended warranty transferred from the previous owner. At 18,000 miles the seat was moving, popping and felt like springs were poking me. Sure enough, the seat frame had "worn out". Was replaced by dealer with factory warranty. 42,000 miles the seat issue is back, but different this time. The seat actually moves side to side and "clunks" when…

    The headrest on the front seats are too short. I am 6'6" tall. At tallest extension, the head rest presses against the top of my spine, below my head. I fear a broken neck and head injuries in a head on collision. I presented this question to toyota engineers several years ago and they were indifferent.

    The driver's seat (powered) suddenly, randomly and unexpectedly shifts positions by a very noticeable amount. The movement is accompanied by a loud clunk/thunk noise that is very unnerving to both driver and passenger. In fact, we are starting to wonder if the seat may just completely disconnect from the body while we are driving. If you were able to experience the sensation of unexpected movement and noise, i…
