2022 Toyota Highlander Seats Problems

Your 3rd row seats are missing LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) connectors on the outer seats—there's only one latch point in the middle seat. This means you can only safely install one child car seat in the back row, which limits how you can use the 3rd row for children. Adding LATCH anchors to all 3rd row seat positions would likely involve installing additional anchor points and hardware in the seat structure.

Your Highlander's front seat has a sharp seam edge that cuts your leg when you exit the vehicle while wearing shorts, causing bleeding and injury. The dealership attempted to sand down the problematic seam, but it continued to cause cuts. You're requesting that Toyota replace or properly repair the seat to eliminate the sharp edge and prevent further injury.

Your left rear seat doesn't lock securely in the first few positions—it appears locked until you lean back on it, then it slides to the next position. This is especially concerning if you're using a child safety seat, as parents might think it's safely locked until a collision occurs and the seat shifts. The Toyota dealer was unable to identify a problem, but the issue persists.
