Seat belt are frayed and coming apart. i have contacted my local toyota dealer as well as toyota costumer service and was told the car is out of warranty and it is no longer their responsibility. they said they'd be happy to change the seat belts, and then handed me a hefty quote. thanks toyota, glad you care. *tr
Seat belt clip broke; it had been used minimally over time and was not abused when it failed to buckle. *tr
I was rear ended by a truck while stopped completely on the hardy toll road in houston. the truck was going approx 30 mph. my seat belt did not work and my head hit the steering wheel resulting in a concussion. toyota told me that seat belts provide no protection during a rear end collision. i think they are wrong. *jb
