I have a 2006 DC SR5, and I've noticed when I accelerate that the driver's seat slips a little, almost like it's loose or in between forward/aft settings. I don't have power seats, and I've tried different forward/aft settings, but it still moves a little. Anyone else have this problem?
I have a 2005 double cab and the driver's seat is loose. Took it to the dealer's, but they did not solve the problem. Wonder if the problem is limited to double cabs?
A $30,000.00 truck should not have a loose driver's seat.
Suggest Tundra Solutions Administrator request All Tundra Solutiions members respond to a net query citing year and type of Tundra truck with loose seats. Administrator should advise factory of data.
The subject of this thread has been a constant complaint. Perhaps collected numbers will convince Toyota to focus some of its vaunted quality control on this nagging issue.
I have the same problem.... It only occurs when I adjust the seat after the wife was driving it. I have to rock it back and forth till it locks into place.
My 05 AC with manual seats does the same thing. The dealer replaced the entire drivers seat frame and it stopped for a while. It is annoying!
I spoke to the service rep again about the problem and his reponse was to show me several in the service drive that did the same thing. He said that's the way it is with the Toyota trucks!
I hope someone will get to the bottom of this with the factory.
Please See the earlier thread from Jim S. I am happy to report the following.
On Aug 9, 2007 took my 2005 Tundra 4 door into Marietta Toyota (GA) along with a copy of this thread. Met with the Service Manager in his office at 7:00 AM. I had previously called and explained the frustration with the loose seat. Gave him the thread and the web site for Tundra Solutions. He had never heard of the site nor was he aware of the thread comments from around the US. He looked at me intently as I explained the problems with my Tundra. Then he sat down and read every thread and questioned me about Tundra Solutions.com. After he and I talked, he rocked back in his chair and said that he just could not believe that that many Tundra owners were having this problem. Then he got up and said that there was going to be one less, and he was going to fix the problem.
I had to have the ball joints replaced because of the recall and my tires were shot because we had never been able to get the truck aligned so the alignment would stay. Probably the ball joints. At 20,000 miles, the tires were unevenly worn. We discussed the tires. And there was an oil change.
He handed me his keys and said take his car to drive to work. He'd call when the truck was ready. At 4:00 PM, A service writer called and advised that the truck was still being worked on. Took the Service Manager's car home and drove it to work the next day. Picked up the truck at 5:30 PM after work. Got charged only for the oil change. Found a new set of tires on the truck. Seat was fixed and didn't wiggle in the slightest. My Tundra drove like a Toyota ought to drive - solid as a rock.
Don't know how the Service Manager fixed the seat, but its not loose. If your truck has a loose seat problem, ask your dealer's Service Manager to call the Service Manager at Marietta Toyota, Marietta, GA. He fixed the problem.
Had a great service experience. This service department did what it promised to do and then some. Toyota service at its best.
I think all the 2000 bucket front seats do the same and the only solution I found was that over time you don't notice it as much. I am dying to know what the service manager did????? Maybe he put some saw dust inside the track???
I took mines to the dealer. They said it had to do with the seat frame. Didn't have no problems with them. They change it out and got it back in about 3 hours.
