Toyota 4runner Seats Safety Report | Apr 12, 2013
Reported on Apr 12, 2013
| MY CAR WAS REAR ENDED WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A YIELD SIGN WAITING TO MERGE ONTO A PARKWAY. THE SMALL CAR THAT HIT ME WAS PROBABLY TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. THE COLLISION CAUSED MY DRIVER'S SEAT TO MOVE FORWARD AND IT STOPPED JUST BEFORE I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. TOYOTA INSPECTED THE SEAT ON MAY 8, 2013 AND THEIR LEGAL DEPARTMENT ADVISED ME BY LETTER DATED JUNE 13, 2013 THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE TO REVEAL A MANUFACTURING OR DESIGN DEFECT WITH THE SEAT. TOYOTA SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE CLAIM FOR REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF THE POWER SEAT MECHANISM BECAUSE IT MOVED THROUGH ITS ENTIRE RANGE OF MOTION UPON INSPECTION. *TR | |
