Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“In 2008 my 2006 Camry had the warning light for the seat belt come on. Wellesley Toyota corrected the problem. I took the car back in 2009 twice for the same problem. The problem reoccurred in 2010 and I had it repaired at another Toyota dealer. Since then it comes on and other times goes out. Now it is permanently on.”
NHTSA complaint #10579687, filed 2014-04, 139,000 miles“The seat belt is folded over in the passenger side door pillar and I cannot free it. This has happened on both front seat belts in the past and I was always able to free it. Vehicle was parked and in my driveway.”
NHTSA complaint #11048398, filed 2017-11, 56,000 miles“The driver's seat belt does not retract. It folds and jams the mechanism. We have pulled and pulled and sometimes it does unfold, but more often than not we have the belt snapped in, but it is not doing it's job because it is completely pulled out and way too big.”
NHTSA complaint #10553150, filed 2013-11, 50,000 miles“The front passenger seat belt gets tangled whenever it is pulled out in order to buckle when someone is sitting in the passenger seat. This does not happen on the driver's side. Normally you have to move the adjustable slide for the seat belt oh the side of the car up and down repeatedly in order to get the seat belt entangled in order to use it properly. It has now become fully extended and will not retract at all making it unusable. I bought the car used in 2011 and it has been happening since then.”
NHTSA complaint #10489011, filed 2012-12, 104,000 miles“The front passenger seat belt gets tangled whenever it is pulled out in order to buckle when someone is sitting in the passenger seat. This does not happen to the driver's side, but only the passenger's side. You then have to move the adjustable slide for the seat belt on the side of the car up and down repeatedly in order to get the seat belt untangled in order to use it properly. This has happened since I purchased the car used in january of 2007.”
