While offloading my truck after getting back from vacation and with all the windows rolled down I noticed smoke coming out of the cab of my truck. Not know what it was or why smoke was coning from the inside of my truck I went to investigate and notice the top of the rear seat was melting and smoking. Absolutely no reason why that material should have started to melt and smoke. Outside temperature at the time was 64 degrees Fahrenheit. Only thing that I could think of was the light / reflection of the sun from our upstairs bedroom window. It is just a standard glass window so don't see how that would cause the material to melt, smoke and it absolutely looked like it was about to light up. I have an actual video of it smoking but website will not let me upload it.

The seat protective plastic cover is broke with less than 30k miles and light use. It is a known issue but Toyota informed me when I took it in that they are on universal unavailability. They can’t tell me when the part will be back in stock and there are non in the USA. The airbag is also near this and there is concern that it could damage the airbag. Additionally the damaged plastic cuts the seat and is sharp

Since around 35,000 miles, the 10-way Power Adjustable Driver's Seat makes a terrible squeaky sound when going over any bumps in the road. If the Driver were to move while in the seat, the squeak is present. We have already paid out of pocket (not considered a warranty issue because nothing is "broken"), but the squeak has returned. This is no fault of the dealership, but because of the design that Toyota implemented for just the 10-way Power Adjustable Driver's Seat. If we reduce the Lumbar Support down to its lowest setting, the squeak gets better but it makes the seat that much more uncomfortable. These are the worst seats we've ever had in any vehicle, let alone a Toyota/Lexus product. I do believe the seat structure to have cracked at this point in time. Vehicle is currently in for service.

Driver's Seat appears to have some play in it where when accelerating or coming to a stop, the seat bottom will move forward and/or backwards. This has continued to happen and after repeated attempts to have the dealer resolve it, they have basically told me it was designed that way. We've never had another Toyota product do this. We do understand there are certain specifications needed to meet safety requirements, but we've sat and driven in other models of the same specifications and their seats do not do this.

My double cab seating is not spaced properly in the back. I cannot fit a child. It's about 2 and 1/2 in away from the center console and this back in the front seats. It's a safety issues. My children legs can get crushed in an accident or any type of seat movement. This is a safety answer and a concern. Nobody can sit in the back. It's misleading. The truck States as a five-seater. It's not a five-seater. You cannot fit three people in the backseat it's impossible. I tried to trade my truck in for a crew cab which have space in between the seats and the councils and the front seats and the dealership didn't want to work with me. This is a concern. Also, there's still no remedy on the gas line in the front. That's a concern too which can cause a fire double cabs are a safety hazard. Due to the seat space needs to be corrected. A crew cab has space in double cab does not My children were complaining because their knees were rubbing on the backseat and on the console always complaining when I give a ride to a family member, a grown person. They also complain about their knees rubbing on the backseat and on the console. It's very safety hazard if you get into an accident, you can crush your legs and your knees also the problem with the gas line. It's very concerning drive in a highway or in the local roads. Can't catch a fire can cause a death can cause injury can cause burning it. Have the remedy on the recall hasn't been fixed and it's been over a year now. It's been 2 years 3 years I was trying to trade my truck in with the dealership with Central Florida Toyota and they were in cooperating with me. I explained to them the problem and they were trying to sell me a crew cab for $55,000. It didn't make sense. I needed my car payment to be at least $650 a month which I needed at only finance $38,000 their pricing these tundras very high. It does not make any sense and these trucks have a lot of recall and a manufacturer defect with the back seat with the seating spacin
