seat retractor failure- white plastic part off and visible , seat is making popping noise when seat is being adjusted. Noticed this when i picked up from dealer after oil change. I feel this is a driving safety concern. Larry H Miller American Toyota (Albuquerque, NM) service manager states it's safe to drive, however I feel this is a huge safety concern. The seat was in working order did not have this issue during drop off of service. However I believe this is a failure on Toyota engineering. I would like some guidance on how to get this repaired as they want me to pay $2,000.

The driver side control panel trim keeps snapping off. I’ve researched it and it’s happened to others. It’s been repaired 3 times!

3rd row seats when folded in well: They don't stay put in well and they come out with a bang upon applying a sudden break or going over a speed hump. Why is it a problem: 1) if a pet is there on the back, it could cause a serious problem 2) It makes a big bang when came out of the well and It make the driver think like they are rear ended and stopping their vehicles suddenly. 3) any light weighted articles fly to the front creates a possible hazard. What am I expecting: they stay put in the well and locked. What did I do? I spoke to the dealer and they acknowledged the problem and simply said that's how it is designed with no solutions.

3rd row seats do not lock into place when folded down. As a result, when going over a bump or applying brakes, the seats can start to bounce. Upon hard braking the seats can actually fully pop up and transform to unfolded position, potentially injuring anything in front of it.

We hit a bump in the road at approximately 25mph and the third row seats went flying forward from their stowed position. The impact force was loud enough that it caused me to swerve and the seats could have easily injured our dog had it been in the back.

The third row seats do not latch when stowed. The 1/3 side does not lie flat. Because of the lack of latch, when going over a speed bump, the seats bounce and in some cases the seat flies forward and latches violently into place with a loud sound.

The third row seats do not latch when stowed. The 1/3 side does not lie flat. Because of the lack of latch, when going over a speed bump, the seats bounce and in some cases the seat flies forward and latches violently into place with a loud sound. It was very alarming and could have caused damage to any thing laid flat there, or potentially injured a dog in the cargo area. This is a fundamental design flaw. The corresponding seats on my 2005 Sienna latch into place.
