I purchased my scion from my local dealership in Feb of 2015. On the 17th of March when coming to a stop the driver seat moved forward on its own. The seat had became unlatched from the seat runner under the driver seat. I had to adjust the seat and made sure that it locked into place. Since then this problem has happened over and over. I would say at least 40 times. The seat will not lock into place when you slide the seat forward or move it to place items behind it as well. It will lock on one side of the seat runner at times and I have to adjust it each time. This problem can be a safely issue when braking hard or in a accident as well. I have seen recalls on this problem with other models of this auto. I talk to my local Toyota dealership about the problem but they say there is no recall or repair bulletin on my model at this time.
3 days ago drivers seat back lever could not be used to restore seat back position and had to use lever located next to seat bottom. Today lever could be moved but did not work and seat back again had to be repositioned using the other lever. Airbags are located in the seat so an appointment is scheduled for the 22nd of this month with the dealer.
My son lost his life on Dec 11, 2008 he was riding passenger in his own car, when his friend whom driving lost control of vehicle, the vehicle slid side ways, passenger side into a utility pole slid around and rear ended a tree, at which time my son was ejected out through the back window as a result to his death. He had his seat reclined, in which you see people doing this all the time while traveling. The auto manufacturer needs to not only put have this there owners manuel (which people don't read unless there is a problem) the auto makers need to put a sticker on the sun visor to warn drivers/passengers not ride or drive with the seat reclined. I have check on the internet and found that the auto makers are aware of this problem and congress are the feds has yet to make the auto makers do anything else about this problem, how many more kids will it take before something happens. . . By the way I only had one son, who I loved very much and now he is gone. . . Please if anything make the auto makers do something.
