Description of the problem	I am the owner of a 2004 toyota 4-runner se, the driver's seat is constantly clicking and shifting upon acceleration, braking and turning. The technician's at the dealer say it is operating as designed and they all do it. The car has 7500 miles on it and has been to the dealer 2 times for the same and it is going back again for it on 5/27/05. I feel if it moving this much with such low mileage what will it be doing it a couple of years from now. I feel it is dangerous because sometime the seat will actually move back a notch while accelerating and almost cause me to loose control of the vehicle while steering around a car that had pulled out in front of me. As for the rotten egg smell i also get that when the windows are open mostly and it is very annoying as is the dronning of the drivetrain or differential upon acceleration, that i hope will be addressed at the next service date above. I think toyota should be able to repair a loose seat it is ridiculous with all the technology out their that there is no repair for such a simple problem.
