“I have owned 6 Toyota trucks from 1985 thru 1997 and they all have had seat belt problems. They do not retract all the way and hang out the door and you have to manually retract them back in. This has been a long time know event and in the past Toyota has replaced them at no charge. However, when I called customer care and then took it to a Toyota dealership in wesley chaple fl. Both the manufacture and the dealer said sorry you have to pay for it. I am very upset since my seat belts have now since frayed from being caught in the door and am afraid to drive the vehicle on highways. …”
