| Seats problems |
Heating and cooling for the seats just stopped working.
I've owned this car since may 2016 and everything worked fine until this morning when I got in my car and started it up and then turned on my driver's side heated leather seat. There was a strong burning smell coming from the seat so I immediately turned it off. The seat had been turned on 1 minute or less. I store my car in my garage at all times and there is nothing under my seat that could be keeping the warmer from working correctly. I haven't noticed that smell with the passenger seat. I have a 2008 Toyota Camry se.
The driver seat has a tear in it and there are only 120,000 miles on the car. It torn on a crack in the leather on the seat. Also - the dash has cracks all through it but we heard that there was a recall on it. Is that true? the dash surface is sticky and hard to clean.
The driver's seat is reclined and will not adjust due to a mechanical defect. The car was purchased in July 2008 and it has 47,000. I took it to Toyota dealership and they said they charged would be $2,000 to fix the seat. After further investigation through the internet, I found out the seats frame is hard to purchase used because of the amount of problems with the driver's seat frame.
The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Camry solara. The contact stated that there was no padding in the front arm rest of the vehicle. He experienced extreme discomfort. In addition, the automatic dimming mirrors dim in low-light situations. He cannot manually adjust the component. On one occasion, while driving at an unknown speed in rainy weather conditions, the mirrors auto-dimmed. Visibility was reduced and the contact crashed into another vehicle. There were no injuries. The dealer would not assist. The manufacturer referred him to a dealer. The failures have not been remedied. The failure mileage was 100 and current mileage was 3,000.
