“On september 2, 2005, the seat belt anchor completely rusted out on my 1995 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 extra cab and has rendered the seat belt useless. Toyota will not fix the problem, does not have the parts in stock and said it would be months before they could have them. They referred me to a junk yard, which also does not have the parts to fix it. One of their technicians tied the seat belt to the seat track. I am now forced to drive the vehicle this way as I need to get to work.”

NHTSA complaint #709612, filed 1999-08“The problem with the seatbelts started aprox 3 yrs ago on the passenger side. The belt would get tighter after it was fastened, even before the veh had been started and still does it this day. Just recently the seatbelt on the drivers side completly failed, it does not lock in place nor does it retract. I believe there is potential for serious injury in the event of an accident.”
