NHTSA complaint #11414390, filed 2021-04, 98,000 miles“Drivers side seat rail loosened at the rivets, allowing the seat to have excessive play in the rail itself. Toyota eventually replaced under warranty after much arguing. Had this been allowed to continue the rivets could have actually pulled through the rail allowing the seat to become totally loose in the event of a crash. The symptoms were felt primarily under starting and stopping when one could feel the seat rocking excessively.”

The seat belt clicker for rear seat which is behind the passenger front seat stuck inside and it become very hard to fasten the seat belt.

NHTSA complaint #10967750, filed 2017-03, 100 miles“The panel that controls the power seats broke when the plastic made contact with the front of the seat rail while adjusting the seat backwards from the most forward position while the car was stopped. When driving, the panel that broke at the front allowed the seat to engage movement without driver knowledge and causing distraction while driving. Driver put duct tape on front of panel so it would not self engage while driving. Toyota dealer advises this happens quite frequently and there should be a TSB on it but there is not. Says repair is $400. …”
