Mid/rear Seats Assembly Problems of Toyota Tacoma

3rd brake light over torqued at factory resulting in defective seal and eventually cracked light fixture. This results not only in electrical issue but serious leaking into cabin - affecting rear seat, roof, and flooring. Leak noticed after rain storms and noticing wet floor/seats and damp floors. There are numerous reports of this issue affecting 3rd generation Tacomas on Toyota forums such as Tacomaworld. Com.

Driver's side rear seat is getting wet during heavy rains. The leather will be swelled up.

The rear seats do not lock. For example, the rear seats have a locking mechanism under the seat. When seat is put back into its normal position it does not lock. I had a 2001 and the seat locked once put into its normal sitting position.

While driving on the freeway at approximately 60 mph with the traffic coming to a stop, we were suddenly rear ended and the passenger seating on the right backseat hit her head on the plastic piece attached on the headrest of her seat and suffered a hematoma on the back of her head. She was attended by the paramedics and was immediately transported to the hospital. The plastic piece, which caused the injury, is located in the lower part of the headrest and can be easily felt by just touching the headrest. There is minimal to none cushioning. I believe that the two rear headrests (left and right rear seats) of the 2014 Toyota Tacoma doublecab is unsafe and can cause serious injuries.

We currently have a 1999 toy ex cab and are not able to get the back seat beat tight enough. I read the manual that states flip seat up and put cup holder up. With the cup holder up and seat carpet the seat slides around a lot. . Where the seat belt come out of the floor and buckles I have tried and tried to get it tight and have not been able. Not in the back of those trucks the seat is straight up and down. I have tried a straight back and a seat at a slant it still does not work. I have taken it to Toyota and they don't know why it will not work. I then took it to a mary bridge car seat check and they straight that the belt is to far apart. When you sit in a regular seat the belt the come out of the floor and then clicks together is close to you hips. Not in the back of the Toyota's they are far apart. Toyota doesn't seen to be helping me at all, and am wondering how many people have been putting there children in the back seat unsafe. I would hate to see a child get killed due to this. Please let me know if there is a secret to this that not many people know about. Please help.
