I purchased a new Toyota Tacoma in January 2015. On March 28th 2015 my son and I each left our unplugged phone charging cables laying across the front of our factory upgraded all weather seats. The sun was directly shining on the front seats from 1 to 5 p. M. Both seats melted around where the unplugged cords laid. I have written several letters to Toyota and the distributor asking for a simple replacement of the original seats that were on the original invoice at the time of purchase. My concerns include why did these three month old seats fail? are these seats safe and have they passed all the new car safety test? who manufactured these seats? who is responsible to inspect if the material is fire retardant? when I leave a plastic grocery bag on the seat for a 5 minute ride home the bags melt into the seats to the point that when I peel them off the ink writing from the bag is left on the seat. I am very concerned that if in an accident these seats can be hazardous to the occupants. The arbitration letter from Toyota national dispute settlement indicated that they did not have jurisdiction on this nonconformity item. This is the only written communication I have form the three letters I have written to Toyota. Toyota representatives verbally assure me that the seats have met all federal and dot requirements but refuse to put this information in writing. They also refuse to give me any information on who made these seats and what is the material made out of. This makes it nearly impossible for me to gather safety information regarding these seats and rather or not they meet all applicable dot standards. Thank you very much for your consideration of my concerns.

The seats of the 2004 Toyota Tacoma have hard, projecting lumber supports which are not adjustible. These permanent lumber supports place abnormal pressure on the lower back of the driver. After having this vehicle for a period of several months, I felt low back pain when driving. Reducing the prominence of these lumbar supports at a local upholstery shop has relieved the problem. The cost was $50 per seat, but Toyota refuses to reimburse this cost under the warranty of the new truck. I am an abih-certified industrial hygienist and a bcpe- certified ergonomist associate. I believe that these non-adjustible lumber supports in the Toyota Tacoma can cause permanent injury and pain to the lower back of drivers, because they are so prominent and not adjustible. No other type of vehicle has such prominent lumber supports. I believe that they have only been installed in the 2004 Toyota Tacoma and not in previous versions of this truck. Drivers of the 2004 Toyota Tacoma may not realize the cause of their lower back pain until it causes permanent damage and pain to their backs.

The front seats on my 2003 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 xtracab rock on their tracks when I drive on rough surfaces. I took the vehicle to my nearest dealer and they said they would apply a shim in order to solve the noise problem. However the shims were already installed during manufacturing, so the dealer said they could not fix the problem.

The drivers seat is not fastened securely to the floor. The rubber grommet brakes into pieces leaving the seat track to move up and down freely. Also, the drivers seat back has 2 to 3 inches of play. Possibly due to the seat track movement. I fear that the seat will not support me in case of an accident. I have had it repaired once already and in less then 2000 miles it has broken again. I noticed something was wrong at about 15000 miles but did not find the problem until 50000 miles. I contacted the dealer, case number200209101387, who said it is out of warranty.
