Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Driver's seat on new 2005 toyota sr5 4runner rocks and shifts back and forth while driving. dealer has already replaced seat linkage and frame assembly and seat movement has gradually returned in a very short time period. dealership tried to call it a normal condition prior to replacing saying that all seats in 4runner's on the lot were loose from the factory. as vehicle is driven and weight of driver shifts back and forth from stops and starts, linkage in seat weakens and works loose. very poor design. condition is very dangerous and safety should be toyota's #1 concern but obviously not yet. *jb
