Heated lights on but the driver's side seat not warming up. Bought this car second hand from a small auto dealer (buyacar. Com in greensboro nc). But I did take my car to a Toyota dealer for repairs, they did not tell me that there's a recall about seats for this model and I did complain about the warming seat not working. So recall was about, wiring of seat. The dealership did not check because I don't want to be charged$500 for a repair that is part of a recall. Thank you for your help on this matter.
Smell burn and smell fuel while driving.
Seats rubbed on console. Strong electrical burning smell. Drivers side heated seats no longer operate. When in reverse and turning steering wheel loud squealing noise and thumping until placed in drive. Went to several dealerships who said they could find nothing wrong. Drivers side sun visor fell down and blocked ability to see when driving.
