The seat belt folds under the upper shoulder area of the re-tractor, thus binding in the re-tractor this condition causes either the seat belt unusable or further tightening causing breathing problems and or possible entrapment in the vehicle. to this end, i feel this is a serious issue. i filed a complaint with toyota, case # [xxx] on aug. 07-2013, after which they told me they had no such previous complaints? a google search or youtube search will find several complaints of "folding seat belts resulting in jamming". information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
