Prius V :: Leather Seats Won't Slide In And Out Easily

My wife has arthritis problems in her hips and knees, so we always buy cars with leather seats so she can slide in and out easily. This 2013 Prius v Five has the Softex imitation leather seats, which just don't slide very well. I complained at the dealer and asked if I could use something like saddle soap. They said not to use anything on them, and contacted an upholstery shop they have dealt with in the past. They will replace the seat bottoms with real leather (but not a perfect color match)

Camry :: Can Replace Leather Cover On 2004 LE Seats?

Can I buy a replacement leather cover for the driver seat in my '04 LE Limited Ed.?

There is a tear in the outer side panel, right by the seam where it meets the back seating panel. I know there are companies that make leather interior kits where you pull off the fabric seat upholstery and pull on the leather, and that these kits are popular with new car dealers.

Where I can find an OEM replacement to match the rest of my interior, which is still in good shape? Would it make better sense to take the leather off of the setback and have a seamstress/upholstery shop set in a new side panel? Or, would I be best off to just find a complete seat that matches and just bolt it in?

Seats - Ford - Explorersporttrac :: Airbag Light Comes On When Passenger Sits Down

I've got an '07 Sport Trac that is throwing the airbag light when a passenger sits down. I took it in to the dealership and they said that the trac on the passenger side seat has a signal blocked when somebody sits down.

Are there any obvious things I can do or check for? They didn't dig around for anything, they just hooked it up and pulled the codes with and without someone sitting in the seat to confirm the diagnosis.

Camry 2012+ :: 2015 XSC - Passenger Airbag Light Always Illuminated

I just picked up my 2015 XSE yesterday and I am loving it so far. One thing I noticed is that even when I am driving by myself the yellow passenger airbag off light is always illuminated. Is this normal? I couldn't find anything in the settings. I would think it should flash a couple times then turn off.

Prius Plug-in 2012-15 :: Passenger Seat Airbag Light Turn On

The "airbag on" indicator light on the dash in front of the passenger seat is lit whenever an adult (haven't driven with a child yet) is in the seat. My passenger (wife) finds the light obnoxious to have to look at, and I can't blame her. The customization section of the user manual doesn't seem to address this

Camry 2012+ :: Airbag Light Stayed On / Radio Would Change Stations On Its Own

One day I started my car and all of the lights came on and stayed on(ABS, Brake, airbag, seatbelt, exclamation point, etc). The next day only the airbag light stayed on. Then, the radio would change stations on its own. I told myself it was some kind of electrical problem and took it to the dealer. The person at the dealer assigned to me kept it two days and I got it back. The next day the airbag light came on again and stayed on. The radio started changing stations on it own again. I took it back to the dealer. He said the air conditioner hose got clogged by a huge spiderweb and other debris. He said he had a factory representative there and the problem was not a factory defect and would not be covered by my warranty. The total airbag system needs to be replaced and the electrical system. What should I do?

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2012 - Airbag Light Flashes On Once Ignition Is At On Position Then Turns Off

I've got a bit of a weird problem with my 2012 F150 XLT Supercab w/ 5.0 and 4x4. My airbag light flashes on once ignition is in the "ON" position then turns off and back on making it code 1-1 I believe but, I cannot for the life of me, find anything about this. Also, for some reason it only happens when it's above 66 degrees outside, the temperature barely gets above that until this time of year and as soon as I take it anywhere they pull it into their shop, which is cooler than outside, and the code disappears. I would like to see if I can solve this first without doing taking it to a dealer and have a huge bill. I checked all of the cables under the seats, the fuses, the battery and the airbag module under the center console and I cannot find anything that seems loose.
