2016 TOYOTA CAMRY Seats Problems

FIRST ISSUE, (MINOR) DRIVER SIDE REAR SEATBELT DOES NOT RECOIL CORRECTLY. MUST BE MANUALLY FED IN ORDER TO RESET FOR NEXT USE. SECOND ISSUE, HOOD LATCH DOES NOT RELEASE AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO. YOU MUST HAVE A LONG FLAT HEAD SCREWDRIVER AND MANUALLY LIFT THE HOOK FROM THE HOOD IN ORDER TO RAISE HOOD. APPEARS TO BE A WEAK SPRING ON THE LEVER. NOT SURE WHAT ABOUT THIS CAR MAKES IT EAT TIRES BUT I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW (12 MILES) AND NOW HAVE 98,000 AND I AM GOONG THROUGH TIRES APPROXIMATELY EVERY 10,000 MILES REGARDLESS OF BRAND OR WARRANTY. HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE ALIGNED MULTIPLE TIMES BY MULTIPLE COMPANIES AND STILL NO WEAR PATTERN ON TIRES JUST WORN COMPLETELY SMOOTH. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH THE THOUGHT OF PUTTING MY SON IN IT IT TRAVEL TO COLLEGE AND BACK BUT I WILL GET RID OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE...

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. SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECT IN DESIGN SINCE I HAVE ONLINE RECORD OF OVER 100 CARS BEING AFFECTED.

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.
