general problems of the 2001 Toyota Camry

The seat belts don't buckle in the latch. All five buckle not working.

Just within the last month, I have had difficulty getting the driver seat belt to clasp. It take a few tries, but finally does. But, it doe not seem secure and I am afraid that it may become unclasped while driving. In the past it always worked fine and the clasp seemed much more secure. I was wondering if any other driver have had a problem with this. I sincerely appreciate any help or guidance you could give me. Thank you.

I just started the engine and ready to go home when I tried my seat belt, it will not latch. After so many tries it finally work after having to depress the red buttom part of the seat belt latch all the way down. It happened again yesterday 10/31/2014.

The contact owns a 2001 Toyota solara. The contact stated that the passenger side seat belt did not retract. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a diagnosis and the contact was informed that the retractor would need to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 56,000.

The seat belt stays at far extension and will not retract, so it will not function. I went to my local repair company and they said it could not be fixed and must be replaced. I first notified Toyota of this on may 21, 2012 by speaking with the "customer experience center". [xxx] said someone would contact me within 1 business day. 2 business days later late pm I received a call from [xxx] who told me to go to a Toyota dealer to get it checked out & get an estimate for replacement. I asked if it could be replaced for free, since it is a safety item that should not malfunction. She said get the estimate first and then call her. I went the following day (5/22) and received the estimate. On the morning of may 22 I called [xxx] number & left a message. On the afternoon of 5/22 I called again. She again was not there, so I held on for someone else to help me. [xxx] said [xxx] was not available. I told her I am forced to drive without a seatbelt, and asked if she or someone else could help me. She said I can only speak with my "case manager" [xxx]. I insisted on speaking with her manager. She told me the manager went home. I asked to speak with another manager. She said I could only speak with [xxx] who would absolutely call me back with 24 hours. 24 hours later [xxx] had not called. I called her and she did not answer, but I spoke with someone also in her department who again said neither he ("[xxx]")nor anyone else could help me that day. He said a manager would call me back within 24 hours. I told him I am driving around for days without a seatbelt waiting for them, and insisted on speaking with his manager's manager. He said " a manager will call you back in 1 business day". Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The latch on my Toyota Camry le drivers side front seat belt will not latch. You must hold depressed the center button of the buckle as you insert the latch for it to operate. I have just gotten this car and do not know how long the has been defective.

Driver side seat belt buckle not working. Belt can not go into the buckle unless you hold down the red button release buckle then insert the belt with force. It does release the belt.

Seat belt doesn't return. Instead, it is fully extended at all times, with shoulder belt lying on my lap, and seat belt being way to loose.
