Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Seat belt tensioner too weak and allows seat belt to hang loose once buckled. Unwary driver closes door and a loop of seat belt hangs outside vehicle. Could result in catastrophic results in crash. Not uncommon for me to see other T100 pickups driving down the road with a loop of belt visible outside the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10166165, filed 2006-08, 105,000 miles“Both front seatbelts fail to retract. Often since they don't retract, they get caught in the door when closed and cannot restrain the driver/passenger in a crash. Please help! They've been replaced by capital Toyota in salem oregon, once. Thank you!”
NHTSA complaint #744143, filed 2001-04“Drivers seatbelt will only buckle if consumer pushes release button to slide latch into buckle. Consumer was informed by dealer that seat belt was no longer under warranty and they would not replace it.”
