Camry 2012+ :: Bars Felt Through Seat Cushion?
Apr 21, 2015
Lately I've really been noticing these bars and sharp points being able to be felt through the seat cushion on the driver's seat. I had the dealership replace the seat cushion recently cos it was already deformed (< 2 years), and now I feel several bars through the cushion (along the seams in the seat cover). The bars were able to be felt before they replaced the cushion; I thought maybe replacing the cushion would fix this problem somehow. No luck.
To be specific, I feel these bars when sitting on the seat normally. It's getting annoying.
Passenger seat feels fine. I would be surprised if this is normal for the driver's seat, if so, *bad* seat design.
I feel an entire seat replacement is warranted perhaps. Car is still under warranty (3 years / 36K).

I want to remove the rear seat bottom cushion of a 2012 Camry L, to put on some seat covers. Do I just grasp the front center of the cushion and pull up, or will that break something?

I need to replace my drivers seat because of a broken seat mount.
I found a used seat on eBay but there is a rip in the seat cushion. If I bought the seat, can if just swap the seat cushion with my old seat? If so, how difficult would that be to do?

I had a bottle of Draino spill on my passenger seat, and now I have these big white stains that don't come off.. and the Draino ate through my seat cover. How do I get this fixed? Do they sell the seat cover as it comes with the vehicle OEM?

Elantra GT ... Most of the time I leave the right side rear seat folded down. Every once in a while I need to return it to the normal upright configuration. That goes fine, but then later when I try to fold the seat down again the cushion (the one that you sit on) gets stuck and I have a hard time folding the seat back down again. I yank on the strap, pulling forward, upward etc. and it doesn't do anything.
Eventually, and seemingly at random, the cushion pops loose and I can fold the seat down. I can't figure out where it is getting stuck. Can I lubricate the metal parts with silicone spray or Lemon Pledge or something (I wouldn't want to use anything greasy that would get on the seat cushions)? Yes, I read the owners manual and I am following the proper procedure for folding/unfolding the seat.

Yesterday, after lifting back my rear seat backrest (40% section) I found out that the seat cushion moved forward and now I just can't find a way to put it back into place.

My '99 Explorer XL has the standard bucket seats. After having two owners (first one '99-09, then me '09-present) climbing in and out over 11 years and 95,000 miles, the driver's seat has broken down on the left side near the reclining lever. Every time I go around a right turn, I feel like Im going to tip over against the driver's door. Is there a replacement cushion for these Explorers?

I have a '95 Chevy 6.5 Turbo-Diesel Pickup. The past few days there has been a whining noise that went up and down with the speed of the vehicle. I decided to have it looked at this coming week when I have a day off but when I was driving home last night the whining stopped and was replaced with a clunking. It sounds like a pair of running shoes that have been thrown in a clothes dryer. When it clunks loudly there is a shake that can be felt through the floor and seat. I now have it parked until I can find out what is going on and if it is safe to drive to the mechanic or if I should have it towed.

Didn't have time to break out the digital camera, but what the two black painted bars set into the back of the rear seat are?? Doesn't appear to be part of the locking mechanism, but I'm uncertain.

My 2012 XLE has about 10,000 miles on it. Today I noticed a scratch on my wifes seat about an inch long. It looked like a black pen mark. Upon close inspection the tan surface of the leather has been scratched off. I wonder how well these seats will wear.

I just purchased a new 2013 Camry SE and I was wondering if it's possible to lower the passenger seat (no power).
My boyfriend and I are both pretty tall. I've got the driver's seat lowered as far as it will go, but the passenger seat seems really high now...

Is there a way to deactivate the seat belt chime??

I feel with the new design and everything being taller (doors, hood, dash) that you're forced to sit up higher. When I put it in my normal seating position, thigh support quarter way up, and back tilted a bit back, I can't see well over the sides or front. I'm 5'10 with a longer torso.

I 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.

This noise is driving me crazy and i can't find out what's making it. When I go around a tight corner, I get a sound that sounds like a small metal ball rolling across thin metal. It almost sounds like what I imagine a ball bearing rolling around in an aluminum roasting pan would sound like.
It's coming from the general area of the driver's seat. It's not very loud, but loud enough that it's driving me nuts. Something is definitely rolling around somewhere, but where to start looking.
What it might be or where to start looking? I'm tempted to pull up the carpet and see if anything got under there, but I doubt there's enough room between the carpet and floorpan for something to roll around this freely.

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 just bought a 2015 Camry LE. The back seat belt buckles keep disappearing beneath the seat surface when you try to put your seat belt on. It's even more annoying when you have a child trying to buckle up in a booster seat. I went back to the dealer & they showed me several other 2015-2016's and they all do the same thing. Apparently, it's a Toyota design flaw & not an annoying quirk to my car. Any solution to keep the buckle above the seat?

The seat will rock back and forth as you accelerate or come to a stop. Extremely annoying.

I 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.

I'm in the habit of starting the car andthen putting on my seat belt while it is warming up.So I used the Carista OBD2 app to disable the seat belt chime on my 2015 Camry. This is supposed to be the same as doing it from Techstream, I believe.But the ding still sounds several times once I turn the key. The seat belt warning light also flashes in synch with the dings.I confirmed the settings:
Seat belt warning ding (driver)
ENABLED / *DISABLED*
Seat belt warning ding (front passenger)
ENABLED / *DISABLED*

What is making the rattling noise on my 2015 Toyota Camry XSE on the passenger side?? It only happens when I drive through cobblestone roads at low speeds or some bumpy roads. It sounds like a water bottle in the cup holder when its makes that rattling sound. I was thinking it's the A-pillar cover on the passenger side.
