2014 with bumpy pwr seat. Anybody else?

[NMJack]

My 2014 SR5, built around December, has a bumpy power drivers seat. About two thirds of the travel backwards, you feel a distinct "bump-bump." Same going forwards. My dealer orginally thought it was some interferance with a seat belt anchor and they made appropriate adjustments. It has returned, and is now a bit more noticeable. I'll have them work on it again when I get a chance to take it in, but I'm curious if anyone else had this issue? Others may wish to check their seat by moving it all the way to one extreme, and then the other. Thanks.

Wow. I didn't realize that I had to do time travel in order to have a 2014 4Runner that was built in Decamber 2013. :doh:

I had this happen to mine as well. They replaced the tracks to fix it.

Thanks TXAg03. I was starting to wonder if I had asked some kind of silly question. :shrug:

Do you know if there is a TSB for this? I had noticed the same issue with the power seats in my 2014 trail. If I adjust the seat with nobody sitting in it you can see and feel the jerky movement. I figure I'll wait until I bring it in for service to have it looked at.

As another data point, when I had my dealer work on mine, they said they checked three or four other new ones on the lot, and found two with the same symptom. I'm guessing this is systemic, which is good because then Toyota can easily replicate and fix.

Same symptom on our 2014 TE. Still works, so I'm also waiting before I take it in.

Thanks for the responses folks. I'll try to get mine in soon and post results after that. Please do the same.

My 2011 Trail does this. But, it's never bothered me as I never move the seat. No one drives it but myself
