We have a 2005 toyota camry. We purchased it this year. We have had several instances that when the driver exits the car and the seat belt starts to retract it twists and get stuck in the guide. My wife is unable to get it untwisted and has to drive it with the belt loose and useless. When she gets home i have to use some sort of tool to get it straightened out in the guide and get it to retract. This is obviously…

I have a 2005 toyota camry. I have had many instances (more than 50% of the time when i drive the car) that the seat belt twists and gets stuck in the guide. It is not easy to un-twist it and i have to drive it with the belt loose. It takes some time to get it straightened out in the guide and get it to retract. This is obviously an unsafe condition and i feel there should be a recall. *tr

Problem with 2005 toyota camry passenger seat belt. The passenger seat belt gets "stuck" when trying to lock belt into latch. This results in the belt either not properly retracting or not able to extend. This happens in about 1 out of every 4 uses. *tr

The seatbelt on the driver's side of my 2005 toyota becomes tangled inside the mechanism that serves as its housing, such that it cannot be retracted and would not retract if there were a sudden impact. I have to take it to the dealership or a mechanic to have the housing taken apart so that it can be untwisted. This has happened 5 times, twice this week. The car has 44,200 miles. *tr

1 the safety belt fails to recoil back after use, so when the wife gets into the car the belt is not usable for her or myself for another trip. 2 the failure occurs at least 10x a month. The consequences would be a faulty seat belt that wouldn't secure the user in case of an accident. 3 we always took the car to the dealership and they took it apart and recoiled the seat belt. However in a couple of days its broken…

Driver's seat belt defective. When hooked up, there is no apparent "g" force stop when you jerk on the belt (i.e., simulate an emergency stop). Belt just gives way with no "g grab" at all. Should you pull the seat belt out too far, it stays out, will not retract, and thereby becoming totally useless, and unsafe as well as making it illegal to drive (with no functioning seat belt for the driver). Toyota dealer…

I purchased my 2005 toyota camry le in august, 2005. After about 3 years, i started having issues with both front seatbelts retracting properly. When the seatbelt is initially pulled out to put it on, it does not retract to create a snug fit while wearing it. The fabric part of the seatbelt folds over and twists, preventing it from retracting. Most of the time it can be corrected with a little manipulation and much…

We owned a 2005 toyota camry. My husband was the driver and was involved in a serious accident when he was cut off while entering a state highway in baltimore, maryland. My 5 year old son was in the back seat behind the passenger seat in a booster seat with his seat belt on. During the impact, my son was unrestrained due to a failure of the seat belt. The seat belt never caught in the retracting mechanism allowing…

2005 toyota camry - seat belt retractors. At about 50,000 miles, the front passenger side seat belt on my camry would occasionally partially fold over at the retractor guide on the door post. At 75,000 miles, this now happens about 1/3 to1/2 of the time and i am starting to have the same problem with the belt on the passenger side. The belt is very difficult to straighten because the gap is too narrow to use a…

My 2005 toyota camry has caused me a lot of frustration soon after i bought it. The dealers have offered to replace it at a high cost (for me at least). Having read numerous reports this appears to be a defective design and should be repaired gratis. It takes me a lot of time to unstick it as i won't let anyone ride without it operating properly. It twists or folds under towards the rear of the slot and as you are…
