NHTSA complaint #11735016, filed 2026-05

“The seat protective plastic cover is broke with less than 30k miles and light use. It is a known issue but Toyota informed me when I took it in that they are on universal unavailability. They can’t tell me when the part will be back in stock and there are non in the USA. The airbag is also near this and there is concern that it could damage the airbag. Additionally the damaged plastic cuts the seat and is sharp”

“My double cab seating is not spaced properly in the back. I cannot fit a child. It's about 2 and 1/2 in away from the center console and this back in the front seats. It's a safety issues. My children legs can get crushed in an accident or any type of seat movement. This is a safety answer and a concern. Nobody can sit in the back. It's misleading. The truck States as a five-seater. It's not a five-seater. You cannot fit three people in the backseat it's impossible. …”

Toyota stated they will not fix the problem due to truck still working order running fine.”

NHTSA complaint #11575699, filed 2024-03

“Driver's Seat appears to have some play in it where when accelerating or coming to a stop, the seat bottom will move forward and/or backwards. This has continued to happen and after repeated attempts to have the dealer resolve it, they have basically told me it was designed that way. We've never had another Toyota product do this. We do understand there are certain specifications needed to meet safety requirements, but we've sat and driven in other models of the same specifications and their seats do not do this.”
