| Component | SEATS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The driver's seat (powered) suddenly, randomly and unexpectedly shifts positions by a very noticeable amount. The movement is accompanied by a loud clunk/thunk noise that is very unnerving to both driver and passenger. In fact, we are starting to wonder if the seat may just completely disconnect from the body while we are driving. If you were able to experience the sensation of unexpected movement and noise, i suspect the same thought would cross your mind as well. My research shows that this is a known problem on some tundra models |
