2008 camry seat killing my back
Unknown
miles. The car looks and rides brand new except the seat is killing my back
and shoulder blades. I went on a short 80 mile trip saturday and within 10
miles my lower back went numb, legs tingled and then my shoulder and neck
started hurting. I tried moving the seat to different positions, got a seat
cushing from auto store then tried some homemade remedies to no avail. The
car makes me miserable to drive, there is no way I could take this thing on
a 8 hour long rode trip. If I can't find a solution will have to dump the
car. Anyone else had this problem and how did you solve it if so?

I have a 2000 Camry and compared to my uncles 2009, my seats are a bit
more plushy. However, I ran into a similar problem with a 2006. Turns
out the Lumbar support was as far out of the seat as possible which
made driving very uncomfortable. Just a thought, there is no wheel for
it it was an electric push button. if equipped, see if yours needs
adjusting. Hope this helps!
Nothing is worse than having a great car with an uncomfortable drivers
seat!

it several times and I still hurt. Today I was forced to drive my gas
drinking 01 Silvarado but it felt so nice to not have a back ache within
minutes. What I think part of the problem is the seat sets to low, my
knees are pushed up a little higher which puts pressure on the back of
my legs and back thus causing the pain. It sure is nice though to get
30.8 mpg 50/50 hwy/town vx 15! However if it is miserable to drive I
don't care if it gets 50mpg.BTW, this is the same original poster, just
using my old junky webtv tonight.

Ihad the same problem with my `92 Accord I took the car in to an
automotive re-upholstery shop and they modified the seat back so it
wouldnt push on my lower back. it wasnt too expensive either .
This was a few years ago, I would give that a try if I were you It
worked for me, never had any back pain afterward .

A chiropractor will fix you up, only 32 treatments if it isn't to bad.

I can't tell you how frustrating it is to shop for a car when it seems that everything I try causes major back pain.
I guess we are the few unlucky souls who for whatever reason do not fit the mold of many of today's seats.
I sat in and drove at least 30 different cars and everything pushed on my lower back too much.
I thought the Camry was going to work for me, but after 1 day I was having symptoms similar to what I had before with the Camry. I'd be interested to know what else you've found in your search and if there any groups that exist to figure out a solution to this issue.
