I have a 2012 Accent hatchback. The previous owner took good care of the interior except for the fold down armrest. I see a zipper on the back of the armrest cover,I assume to remove for cleaning but I do not see how to remove the armrest to clean the cover. I suppose I could scrub it in place but it really needs scrubbing.
View 12 RepliesWe got a 2012 SE Camry back in September. This is our first Toyota. Love everything about it except the driver and front passenger head rest. I feel like it is always pushing my head forward. Is there any other options for this?
View 14 RepliesI'm trying to change all of the piano black finishes in my Accent to matte black finishes. This includes my dashboard facade, shift-box cover, and shifter head. I can't figure out how to get the shift box cover or shifter head off, though.
View 1 RepliesSo one day I sit down, start the car, turn the steering wheel and I feel something fall on my foot.
I look around and I find this...
I look around the steering wheel and I don't see holes without screws. I feel around the back of the steering wheel and there are two holes... I couldn't see down the hole to check so I used my phone.. Everything seems fine here...
Ok. Now to figure out what these screws hold.. Nailed it on the first try.. But then.. these fell down!

Is this a normal find for you guys that have done injectors?
View 1 RepliesSqueaky springs from the seat back on the driver's seat? I know it's not the seat cushion because as soon as I lean back on the seatback, it squeaks. It's driving me crazy now when I hit a bump or travel over rougher pavement.

View 3 RepliesNoticed seat vibrations when fully stopped? My 2013 has a sweet spot where the needle hits *just barely* under 750rpm when stopped at a light or something, where it doesn't vibrate at all. Anything even a smidgen over or under that and the seats and sometimes even the steering wheel vibrate. It's pretty random. One set of lights and I'm vibrating, the next set of lights not far down the road and no vibrations.
Also when I'm idling or stopped and I want to roll a window up or down, the whole car will shake, RPMs will dip a bit too.
I am trying to remove the upper portion of my passenger seat for my 2012 Prius C. This is not the part that you sit on. It is the part where your back rests against. The part where the head rest attaches to. I'm not sure what the formal technical name of the part is.
View 8 RepliesI have the I4 SE Limited Edition in Blizzard Pearl. I bought the car in November 2012.
Now that I have been driving the car for about 3 months, the driver seat is taking a toll on my back.....
I have tried adjusting the seat repeatedly and constantly. Feels like every day. Seat feels hard as if I am sitting directly on the metal plates beneath the cushion. I have tried sitting in the passenger side to compare and I don't feel the same. Then again the passenger side does not have any adjustment controls or metal plates to tilt the seat cushion and it also feels as if it has a thicker cushion padding.
The cushion on my driver seat feels thin - I feel as if i am sitting right on the metal plates that tilt the seat. My wife thinks all of the seats are 'Too Hard'. I think that is more of a 'New' issue. But feeling like I am sitting on a metal plate.
I have an open complaint to the Toyota Care and they reached out my dealer. I will be bringing the car in to see what they say. I am guessing, they will say there is nothing wrong with the car. My next steps will be to look at other trims like the LE and the XLE to see what the driver seat feels like and maybe look to switch out the seat(s) somehow if there is no resolve.
Bought a brand new Camry about five months ago. The driver's seat is already showing signs of wear. There are considerable grooves forming towards the edges of the bottom part of the seat. There seems to be a gap in the cushioning now.
I can't believe the seat is already having problems. Is this normal? Are these seats just not designed for heavy people?BTW these are cloth seats not leather, it's the LE model.
I have had my Elantra Limited 2012 for about a month. Just recently I heard a rattle that appeared to be coming from the rear of the vehicle, but after moving my head around I have since been able to isolate it to the sunroof right about the driver's head. I can reach up there an pull down on a metal hinge, and the rattling stops. Drives me crazy listening to a rattle right above my head.
View 14 RepliesI have a 2012 2-door R with sunroof and navigation. Almost from the very beginning the driver's seat had a problem. It would not hold the position of the back. It would slowly keep going back. Over a couple of days of driving (less than 2 hours per day) I would have to adjust the back about a 1/4 turn of the wheel to get it back to the original position. I have taken it back to the dealer twice for this and they could not find anything obvious.
They said that they would need to take the seat apart in order to figure it out. According to them I am the first one with this issue they have heard of. I am debating if I should keep adjusting it every couple of days, or take the chance and let them take it apart, hoping that there will be no collateral damage in the process. How easy/difficult it is to get to the guts of the seat?
The seat will rock back and forth as you accelerate or come to a stop. Extremely annoying.
View 13 RepliesI just noticed that the material (cloth) on the driver's seat (8-way power) on my '12 SE is splitting at the bolster on one side. This is really disappointing as the car is 2 years and 9 months old and only has 3800 miles on it.
View 14 RepliesI have a 2012 Azera and when I enter and exit the vehicle, the driver seat will automatically move forward and backward. I have noticed that it just started making a loud clicking noise when moving forward and backward. Is this a motor issue, something under the seat, or maybe just a lubricant issue?
View 21 RepliesSo, I bought a set of seat covers yesterday and I'm trying to install them this morning. Surprise, surprise!! The head rests won't come out. I tried pushing the little button and pulling up hard, No good. I look for a little clip or some other retaining device. Nothing. How do I get the front head rests out?
View 5 RepliesThe drivers side window on my 2013 Accent quit going up yesterday. I guess it's time to pull the door apart and look at the rails and mechanism.

Wheel barring already went out?
The front driver wheel does his flapping noise, it sounds as if there's a rock in my tire. No tred problem, no cv boot problems.
When I get in the car, I noticed this. The head rest keeps creeping up. Every time I get in, it must creep up a little. And after time, it's extended up to almost max height. I'm constantly having to adjust it down. I'm 5'8" if that makes a difference.
