The lever for lifting driver seat not working

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I’m sorry to hear you're having trouble with your RX350. If the lever for lifting the driver’s seat isn’t working, it could be due to an issue inside the lifter mechanism or a worn-out internal component. Over time, the gears or linkage that control the seat height adjustment can wear down or break, especially if the seat is frequently adjusted. Since it’s been like this for a while, the mechanism may be stuck or disconnected. You might be able to access the seat base by removing some trim panels to inspect the linkage, but if it’s damaged, the seat track assembly may need to be repaired or replaced. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered. Give us a call at 877-913-1554, and we will happily help you out!
