DRIVERS SEAT IS DEFECTIVE. IT ONCE RATTLED AND MOVED ON IT'S OWN (JUST LITTLE BIT). HOWEVER, THE SEAT FRAME HAS NOW COLLAPSED OVER THE TIME PERIOD. (PLEASE NOTE IT HAS BEEN SINKING SLOWLY OVER A LONG TIME PERIOD.. I JUST NOTICED IT IN 2008) THE FRAME MUST HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE AND/OR IS POORLY DESIGNED. I AM PRESENTLY SITTING ON THE ELECTRONICS BOX WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE THE ELECTRONICS FOR THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAGS. I HOPE SITTING ON THAT DOES NOT PREMATURELY SET OFF THE AIR BAGS WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. OR SHORT OUT THE AIR BAGS SO THEY WON'T GO OFF WHEN NEEDED. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES. I GET THE RUN-AROUND AND NEVER GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER . NOW THEY WON'T RETURN MY CALLS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
STARTED MY 2008 TOYOTA 4RUNNER. NEVER TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ENGINE RACED UNCONTROLLABLY TO AROUND 7-8000 RPM AND SHUDDERED TERRIBLY. IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN TRIED IT AGAIN. DID SAME THING. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE SYMPTOMS AND SAID THERE WEREN'T ANY CODES STORED IN THE COMPUTER. WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CALL TOYOTA TECHNICAL TO REPORT ISSUE. NEVER HAVE BEEN CONTACTED. THIS INCIDENT ONLY REINFORCES THE BELIEF THAT TOYOTA HAS ISSUES OTHER THAN THE "RECALL FIX". I BELIEVE THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN ON THE RECALL LIST. *TR
