Seat Belts
This isn't an incident, but apparently has led to an incident for many. Drivers side shoulder belts easily fold over itself on the side, so then won't retract through the slot in the pillar. ***safety issue*** due to design, happened a lot. Replacement of assembly seems to not be a reliable fix, per many owners, and not just camry, many years. ***no recall needed: ***if toyota made info on how to deal with it…

I was driving on the freeway at 60 - 65 mph. I am a cautious driver and am always aware of the conditions around me. Suddenly, my car just took off like a shot. It was going at an extremely high speed on the freeway. I had no control over it. There are dark skid marks on the road from my braking. I tried to turn the car to straighten it out, but the next thing i knew i had flipped into the median. I flipped two…

Front seat belts are jamming and getting folded and thus creating a driving hazard. They become stuck and won't retract sometimes leaving too much slack. They twist inside the side panel of the vehicle and you have to remove the molding to retract the seatbelt. This has happened multiple times with both front seats both driver and passenger. I am just taking the time today to log this complaint hoping maybe there is…

While driving down the street, the left rear passenger had the seat belt buckle detach from the seat belt with the buckle remaining on the belt. Upon arriving at my residence i inspected the seat belts, i noticed that the right passenger belt buckle was also detached from the strap. It seams the threads where the buckle is sewn into the strap have disintegrated.

The passenger side seat belt has twisted on several occasions and i have been able, after lots of frustration and work, to get it to retract.. Today it twisted again and i can't fix it. I took it to the dealership and it is going to cost me $540. Not only that but we have to delay returning to our home from vacation for two days because it has to be ordered. I have found out this is a continual problem with 2005…

In 2015 i purchased my 2005 toyota camry with less than 50k miles and the seat belts appeared fine. Within a month i noticed the driver's seat belt would not retract. It malfunctioned both when the car was off and on and regardless if it was in any gear or position. I paid someone to lubricate it and that failed to fix the problem. Then i paid the toyota dealership almost $500 to replace the defective seat belt! I…

The front passenger seat belt would not retract to allow a passenger to safely ride in the front passenger seat. When the seat belt assembly was extended in preparation for latching, a fold of about 3/8 inch in the belt on its right edge developed at the assembly, which is located at the upper right side of the vehicle post where the belt comes out of the interior trim. This fold somehow disables, or catches on…

When you pull to wear seat belt, it wouldn't pull all the way to tight it in. It gets stuck and you have to pull it very hard some time it works. Most of time it doesn't pull back the extra length of seat belt (should be automatic to adjust). *tr

The driver's seat belt stopped retracting and does not have the "g" force necessary to protect from hitting the steering wheel in case of an accident. I had the belt untangled while receiving maintenance at the dealership in june, but in 2 days the belt twisted up again and still does not retract. I tried to discuss the situation with the dealership, and they told me i would have to pay about $350.00 to get the unit…

Front passenger side seat belt will not retract rendering it totally useless. If the federal government/states mandate seat belts then it should mandate that dealerships replace defective seat belts. It amazes me that the government has not forced the car companies to issue a recall for this serious problem. *tr

The driver's side seatbealt does not function, restrain, or retract!! The seatbelt has been a constant defect. It has never retracted properly in the door. Most of if ends up shut in the door because it hangs out so far! Now it is a huge problem because it is stuck halfway out and does not reach the fastener. It will not budge. Consequently, i have had to drive to work without a seatbelt. It is useless. I do not…

On numerous occasions since purchasing the vehicle the seat belt assemblies do not retract correctly/at all nor does it provide tension for safe operation of the vehicle while the driver/passenger are buckled in. As manufacturers are required to ensure the proper operation of safety equipment within the vehicles produced operate correctly from the factory, it would only seem logical that there would be a period that…
