Your driver's seat power adjustment stopped working suddenly, making strange noises and leaving you unable to reach the pedals comfortably without adding pillows. The dealer found that the seat track was worn out and the motor needs replacement. The repair requires removing the seat and costs around $3,000 since your warranty has expired.

HEAD RESTRAINT (HEAD REST). PUSHES HEAD FORWARD. CAUSES NECK/BACK DISCOMFORT. HEAD STRIKING HEAD RESTRAINT ON ROUGH ROAD FEELS LIKE A CONCUSSION! LONG DRIVES ARE MISERABLE. SEAT ADJUSTMENTS FAIL TO OVERCOME THE ISSUE. 5'3" WOMAN. I HAD A PRIUS 2006 AND IT WAS JUST FINE. THIS PRIUS SEAT IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE I MIGHT SELL IT.
