Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Seatbelt on drivers side does not retract, gets caught in door when exiting the car. Dealer won't fix it. It's a safety issue in that the driver when exiting has to stop deal with extended seat belt caught in door, could be hit by another car in a parking lot or the street. It's been like this for months. Very annoying.a google search shows this is a common problem for Toyota cars.”
