UGH this car!!!! I was in a Kia Optima which died after hitting a deer, so a week was given to find a new car. We were in a Toyota Camry 2017 rental and my husband liked it so we opted to buy one like it and we found a used 2015. Lovely outside, very sleek and shiny and new-ish. But the seats STINK ON ICE! They are as hard as cinder blocks and have aggravated my driving leg and sciatica to the point I dread getting in this car every day and having to be in it for 2 hours at a time. There is absolutely no sweet sitting spot in this car. Z E R O I am this close to trading it in OR finding my old dead kia and putting its seat in the new one (not really viable option but I am desperate.). I've only had this for 6 mos and I want to trade it in for ANYTHING besides this car. Side note: it has no pick up and go unless you stomp on the gas and there is this weird plastic bottle popping type noise from the dash when the heat is on. AND the brake clips click every time I back up! WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!?! I have taken it to the dealership 3 times and they tell me its fine and look at me like I am crazy. god, I miss my Kia :(

The seat of the 2015 (and probably 14 and 16) are the worst, most uncomfortable seats ever put in a vehicle. they are 8 way adjust but there is no way to find the right spot. The seat cushion is too short and does not support the back of the legs. after driving a few minutes your legs are pinched. on longer drives you can only pray to get out of the car as fast as you can.
I brought it back to the dealership (Toyota of Braintree) and was told there are no defects that's the way they are made. I contacted Toyota and they took notes and then set me a survey to see if the person I spoke to was nice to me.
There were other issues but the seats really make the car almost useless. I am not a big guy (5'10" about 175). I am not a Toyota hater I have had 8 in the past 20 years but this is the worst. I have no recourse but to not buy another Toyota.
There is no one to help in this problem but just maybe I will save someone else from a huge mistake. If you like to drive and want to be able to enjoy going for a ride or just run errands do not get a Toyota Camry.
Unless you are from Toyota and going to take this piece of garbage back and give me my money back don't bother is comment.

The seat is not designed properly it does not support properly and causes pain in the siatic nerve. It is too dished in the bottom at the backrest. After about 30 minutes of driving your back starts to hurt. None of my other vehicles cause me back pain. I made a spacer to go on the seat bottom to raise the back of the cushion. It helps but you should not need to modify a seat in a car to get comfortable.

I had this car for eight months now and noticed uncomfortable driver's seat pretty much within a week of driving. At first I though I just need to adjust it and I will get comfortable. But no. I keep adjusting the seat fairly often, especially on rides longer than an hour. It's just a pain in the back! For now on short drives it is not so bad, I guess I found that sweet spot but if someone moves the seat, forget it. It starts again. I hope Toyota will re-design the seats.

Previous model seats were more comfy and spacious.

Seat was uncomfortable after driving about 10 miles. Not sure it is because it is an SE version.

I have owned this car for about 6 months with only 6,000 miles on it. For the past 3 months and for the past couple weeks I have had to spend several long periods of time behind the wheel as opposed to my normal 15 minute drive to work. Now every time I get in the car my left buttock really hurts and I finally realized it is because of the REALLY POOR SEAT DESIGN of this otherwise wonderful car. It all makes perfect sense, there is about 1 to 2 inches of cushion supported by hard plastic.
Now I own this car and it literally hurts to drive it. I have not yet gone to the dealer but I am sure they will just laugh at me unless some others realize why they have extreme Left Buttock pain from this. Not sure, maybe a passenger would have the same problem if they ride there long enough, it is designed the same way as the drivers seat. This is a big problem!!!!

After driving short distances with the 2015 Camry LE the driver and passenger seats are very uncomfortable. There seems to be limited support for extended driving times. It actually feels like you have no cushion in seat and that you are sitting on a board. The front seats are poorly designed as far as the cloth seats are concerned. I have not tried the leather seating in the Camry but I'm sure it has to be much better than the cloth seating.
