The driver's seat pops and moves when braking or turning curves (especially when making right turns). It appears to be coming from the bottom of the seat and around the front "thigh" portion of the seat.
2004 Toyota 4RUNNER seats complaints

Problems with driver seat moving and making noises during driving on 2004 toyota 4runner. It is a design flaw, and toyota will not recall.
Problems with the bottom of the seats moving around as if not in the locked position. The vehicle accelerated up to 5 MPH although the consumer's foot was not on the accelerator. At times while shifting form drive to neutral and then reverse, the engine could be heard revving up then the vehicle would jerk backwards. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer who test drove the vehicle. The technician concluded that the vehicle was performing as designed and refused to provide further assistance.
I have a new toyota 4 runner sr5 purchased in april 2004. The drivers seat is loose and moves back and forth when you step on the break or gas peddle. The service department at dayton toyota has told me that it is a normal condition and there is no repair available. He showed me other 4 runners on his lot with the same problem. I find it very hard to believe that these vehicles can be sold in this condition.
