    Well I'm guessing 16 but how many miles?

    Looks like you also slide out of your seat. I always get on my other half for sliding in/out of vehicles its gonna tear after a while.

    I've got a 22, went to start it up the other night, the engine fell out of it, all 4 wheels fell off it, then the steering wheel comes off in my hand, and to top all that shit a Japanese dude jumps out of the glove box and says " You asked for it, you got it, bend over Toyota HUH O what a feeling", I said yeah I guess it was a pretty good feeling fucking me out of $50K.

    All BS aside, it's small issues if you ask me, want all the things I said above and more, get a Ford or Chevy

    I think you’re inhaling the Freon. Talk to a man Sunday with a 22 and he said his lost 15k in value after purchase . Sounds funny right?

    Wrong. The Japanese guy will not jump out of the glove box.

    OP, First place to start is checking fuses. The fact you have 2 concurrent electrical issues points at a common cause. Or it's 8 years of neglect catching up? Gotta stay on top of things as they happen

    Horn not working may be your clock-spring needs to be replaced. DIY job and the replacement part is not expensive.

    I thought I read a mention of lock actuators being a possible pain point a while back but I could have gotten mixed up.

    I'd chalk up those and the horn to bad luck, as these are man-made and you can improve the odds as much as you can but wildcards can happen. Same as folks who bought a Hyundai/Kia and had a great couple hundred thousand miles of motoring. It's possible and it's happened but would I bet on it? Well...

    The seat anywhere between the a defect taking a while to manifest or just intense sliding - seat bolstering can take a lot in any higher vehicle.

    I think I slide across mine more than I should personally.
