Driver Side Seat Issue
Something inside my seat is loss (a cable or harness or something). Every time I go and change direction I can feel and hear something in my seat back knocking against itself. I’ve even brought it to a dealer to see if they could “take care of it” but they couldn’t even identify the issue. I may try taking off the back part of the seat and tie up what’s loose back there. Anyone else have this issue?

Hi, thanks for reply. Its on the inside of the driver seat back. The underneath part that's by the rear passenger seat foot well is unhooked and sagging also. The noise it seems is coming from cables or something on the inside knocking back and forth.

I am having a similar issue. I have the same problem as you described, along with actually feeling the seat pop, as though something is snapping back into place. Makes the noise too. Completely irritating and since my car has 135,000 miles it is out of warranty. It's getting so bad that I am considering getting rid of it.
Not sure what to do, but any suggestions are welcome.

I am sorry to say ->I'm so glad it wasn't just me that having this issue. I was afraid I was the only one. I even brought it to the dealer and told them to fix it but they couldn't identify the problem. I was like am I this OCD...
Has anyone dig into there seats before? A tear down photo post would really be so HUGE right now!

I hope it's not a Toyota thing. I had 06 and 08 4Runners where the driver's seats were so bad that I actually had to sue Toyota after numerous "fixes" failed to solve the problem. I LOVED my 4Runners and figured that by 2008 they'd solved the problem. That's why I bought another. I was wrong. Too bad I traded in my 04 4Runner - that thing was bulletproof.

If I get around to getting under my seat to clean up the trash I've dropped under there over the years i'll tear down the seat and PM you how to do it.
It's like any other manufacturer's seat. Unbolt, disconnect cables, put seat in garage or flat surface and find your way around to tearing it apart lol.
