My 1997 Toyota Camry ce has had, since it's very first year, an occasional but persistent and recurring issue where the driver's seat will spontaneously shift and relatch while I am driving. This occurs even if the seat has not recently been repositioned manually. It feels as if it is relatching on one side. The result is a sudden repositioning of the driver's seat of up to a few inches, and runs the potential hazard of loss-of-control if it were to occur at an inopportune time. No post-market modifications to my driver's seat have been made and this is all in reference to original manufacturers equipment. This vehicle was manufactured in November 1996 (1997 model year). I am the original owner, although it has been retitled. I absolutely love my Toyota, but wanted to ensure that this information was available for safety review. I was not previously aware of this site, and thus the delayed report.
