“My 1999 Toyota Corolla has its check engine light on for the two years. The code is p0446/0441 and when winter comes it goes away and re appears in summer. I first noticed that around 36000 miles. The dealer says it is a canister problem, but could be something else and I see that there a lot of Toyota owners who are seeing the same compliant. Also for the last 2 days I see that the seat belt not put sign start to flash even if you have the seat belt on.”
NHTSA complaint #10125378, filed 2005-06, 36,000 miles“My car is a 1999 Toyota Corolla le. On october 27, 2005, the seat belt indicator light began flashing even though the driver seat belt appeared to be securely fastened. It has since been doing the same thing (now going on 11 days) and I am concerned that there is a safety issue with the seat belt. I don't know whether or not the seat belt will work properly in case of an accident. On november 4, 2005, I took the car to the Toyota dealer. I paid $85 for diagnostic testing and was told that the left front seat belt assembly (part# 73220 02030) needs to be replaced. …”
