I was very suprised to see that when I did hit the car in front of me the air bags did not come out or deploy, our seatbelts did not lock. No one was hurt. God forbid this to happen again because I don't know if the air bags will come out the next time or that the seatbelt will lock up. I was going about 75 mph on interstate 45 between parker and crosstimbers, there was an accident that occured on the shoulder-I was in the left lane and all of a sudden everyone started braking. I felt I stopped in enough time. I slammed on the brakes and slid a great distance before hitting the minivan in front of me. A scratch on the black bumper is all that happened to the minivan. If I pressed on the brakes, why didn't the seat belts lock, why didn't the airbag come out? I don't know.
Front passenger seatbelt has broken three times in two months. Belt jams when passenger leans forward while wearing the belt (the belt then hangs lose). Belt seems to twist or fold over at the point where it comes out of the side of the car. Speed during first incident - about 40 mph and braking, second incident 55 mph, third incident 0 mph (at a stop light). Dealer initially replaced the belt, but only "untwisted" it the second and third times. Service tech at dealership tells me it's a "design flaw" and is going to keep happening if I'm not "careful" with the seatbelt. Service dept say their hands are tied, can't do anything other than fix it when it does break - and they say it will probably will break again. They recommended that I call Toyota customer relations in CA - they simply made a report and told me to work the problem out with my dealership. I'm very concerned that the seatbelt will fail during an accident.
