“Owner of a 1993 Toyota Camry with malfunctioning seats belts. One major problem is the rear drivers side of the car retractable seatbelt does not work . I informed Toyota of the problem and was told they could not assist in the matter because the belts were out of warranty. Belts should last the life of the car not 6 years 60,000 miles like they stated . I have one young child and one on the way. And because of economic hardships cant come up with the almost three hundred dollars required to fix the one belt. I am very upset that even safety comes with a price tag. …”
NHTSA complaint #10028794, filed 2003-07, 141,000 miles“Ran directly into a tree at appox. 30mph airbag did not deploy. Conciderable damage to drivers side front grille, bumper, headlights, hood and side panel.”
NHTSA complaint #10730869, filed 2015-06, 323,000 miles“The retractor on the right rear selt belt no longer works; when you pull out the seat belt, there is no tension, so it doesn't pull itself back in. We are unable to use our right rear seat for this reason. Has there been any sort of recall for this? We have not yet contacted our local dealer.”
NHTSA complaint #755023, filed 2001-11“I answered 2 for the amount of failures, but this is not correct.all the seat belts in the vehicle do work while driving approximately 20 miles an hour and than quickly applying the brakes they will secure the passenger. The problem I seem to be having is my husband not myself can get our childs car seat tightened with no moving or limited moving. He has been in a 20 to 40 lbs car seat, back center for the last 2 years, and now it is time to move him into the next stage up. None of the seat belts will properly secure the new seat where there is very little movement. …”
NHTSA complaint #707328, filed 1999-06“Seat retractors are failing. This is third seat belt that consumer is replacing. Spring or cover over the spring fails to pull back over the mechanism. Dealer will not take part in repairs. Consumer is totally responsible.”
