lol nah....theyre just slow
if u wanted fast, buy one with manual seats....i pefer power seats cause theyre easier (u dont have to twist or crank for height adjustment) and theyre convienant....but if theres one thing they arent, its fast...just keep the track greased and theyll run smooth, but i doubt u can make them faster,,,

I'm glad to see that it is the seats that are slow, and not my 300 pounds

basically every single day after the wife's. would be perfect if she's almost the same height. to show some courtesy, i'd readjust the seat when i get out but i've been kinda lazy our previous car had manual seats. but of course the new LE has manual pass. seat but pwr driver seat

manual seats are a pain in the ass to get comfortable in, though i guess it doesn't really matter if only one person drives the car... but power seats are much better if more than one person drives it...

why's that? you can't move it back and forth as fast as the manual ones

Just what I was thinking! I'm 260 and I also noticed how slowly the Camry seats move. It is re-assuring to know that I will not be the cause of the eventual death of a power seat.

Set the seat for her before you leave the car. Or not, if she's been giving you a ration lately . Problem solved! As for making it work faster, forget it. trade in the car or trade in the wife, those would be my choices if the problem won't go away and stay gone.
