    Hello all,

    I'm new to the forum. Over the years, I have searched the forum for answers before, but this time, I haven't had much luck.

    I own a 2004 Toyota Tacoma 4x4. My passenger seat doesn't stay secured when driving. The track is not the issue; that's fine. The issue is the seat back. When I accelerate, my passenger falls backwards. Not back one big swoop back, increments. When I stop and go again, they will fall a little more, until they unjust the seat upright. To prevent falling backwards, they can't put too much weight, otherwise they recline back.

    My mechanic, without looking at the seat, thinks I need to replace the whole seat. So here I am. Is this true? Am I possibly looking to replace the whole seat, or have others found the issue without hunting down a replacement seat?

    With the truck being 20 years old, the odds of finding a used seat are slim. What are your thoughts? Any advice would be great! My family is getting frustrated with the seat. o_O

    If I do need a replacement seat, how does one go about finding one that is in great condition, that hasn't been exposed to floods, a smoker, etc.

    One frustrated Tacoma owner.
