   The driver's seat has an issue with the backrest where something inside the seat feels loose. The driver notices this during acceleration, braking, traversing rough roads, and turning. The dealership agreed that there is a problem and stated that the Tundra has a TSB for this type of issue, but there is nothing for the Camry.
