1) seatbelt twists and gets jammed in the guide near the retractor. Seat belt pulls out, but then will not retract as it is wedged in the guide.this has happened numerous times, but now it is quite wedged. And unusable at the moment. 2) cable that pulls the side door open and closed has rusted and broken. This was subject to a toyota voluntary service campaign, but my problem started after the expiration of the…

Seat belt buckle unlatches itself while driving (city streets as well as highway) or stationary. This occurs ever after shoving the tongue back and forth in the latch several times and it remains latched. Later, it will unlatch itself. It has occurred mostly on straightaways, but also in turns. I removed the latch assembly and blew compressed air through it. Two large red plastic pieces came out, but the problem…

Toyota has offered a warranty extension on defective driver/passenger seatbelt mechanism, however, when i visited the dealer and after they have confirmed that my seatbelts are defective, they cannot provide an estimate on when the parts needed for repair would be available. I opened a case with toyota corporate, however, after numerous phone calls and promises for callback and resolution they have not returned a…

The problem: front seat belts intermittently fail to retract. This issue has been observed to occur when getting into the car and fastening the seatbelt. This issue occurs infrequently but repeatedly. Toyota has provided a "warranty enhancement" for this problem. However, the problem cannot be duplicated "on demand" at the dealership (toyota of puyallup), so the dealership is refusing to fix the problem. I have…

The front driver's side seat belt has a tendency to fold over and get jammed in the slot where it retracts. A quick seach online has found many owners with this similar issue. When this issue occurs, it pretty much leaves us in an unprotected and dangerous state. Surprisingly, what appears to be a similar problem has prompted a recall for the second row passenger seats, but not for the front driver's side. Based on…

The driver's side seatbelt gets folded up and cannot retract. This was a safety issue because i had to drive with no effective seatbelt until i could get home and fix it. This is not the first time this has happened. Once i took it to get fixed but recently i learned how to fix it myself. This required tools and about 30 minutes to complete. If this happens again when i am not at home or don't have time to fix it,…

I love this vehicle, but the drivers side seatbelt periodically sticks. I've tried pulling more belt out, often running out of belt and not being able to get unstuck initially. Sometimes the belt has folded over, but not in all instances. I have often had to use needle nose pliers to grip, pull and/or flip the belt over if folded. Often this takes 10 minutes to correct. This has happened when i'm not at home, and…

On the day i purchased this (used) vehicle, i noticed that the driver's side seatbelt would not retract. After examining the seat belt i noticed that it had folded in on itself and was jammed at the site of where it retracts. I could see that belt was not only folded on itself from the outside, but also past the plastic hardware and behind the casing. I could not unfold the belt with my hands because the folded part…

Both front seat belts fail to retract, remaining much too loose to provide safety to passenger. I have been able to fool with the mechanism in various ways and get the seatbelt working again until today -- 3-28-14. Driver's side is fully extended, folded over, and there is no way to get it unfolded and reactivate the retracting now that it is fully extended. I have actually been fussing with this on and off for a…

The front seat belts on both the driver's side and the passenger's side will not retract. Once extended, they get stuck in the extended position, making the seat belt restrain system completely inoperable. The seat belt will click into the lock mechanism, but the belt is completely loose, and the retract/lock system does not work. This is an unsafe condition. I researched online to try to fix this problem myself,…

In just normal use, without ever having been involved in a collision causing the seatbelt to restrain a passenger, the seat belt on the front passenger side over extends and folds. The belt will not retract and causes the passenger seat to be unusable. The fold is nearly impossible to remove and the belt remains extended. This has happened numerous times over the course of owning the vehicle, to many different…

The seat belt has managed several times become twisted/jammed up in the retractor portion of the seat belt. If an accident were to happen in this vehicle the seat belt would fail to operate as it is intended, which i feel would result in serious injury. I would like to have our seat belt fixed at the cost of toyota. *tr
