I was sitting in my car stopped behind school bus with my seatbelt on . I was rear ended my shoulderbelt did not lock and my visor dropped down and severed my forehead and I hit the top of my head.

3 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 02/18/2013

Struck from rear by another driver at high rate of speed; was thrown forward into driver side interior door panel and driver's head struck the convertible top metal top-folding structure. Believe the seat belt tensioner device failed to function properly and the air bag failed to deploy, as well. The convertible top for this model was in the up position at impact. The air bags did not deploy and the seat belt caused both the driver and passenger to lurch forward, causing serious bodily damage to both parties. Driver sustained brain injury and spinal injury and is still receiving treatment and surgery for his injuries. Passenger is also receiving on-going treatment for spinal and knee injury sustained as the result of the seat belt tensioner and air bag failure, as well.

4 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 12/16/2012

The front passenger seat belt gets tangled whenever it is pulled out in order to buckle when someone is sitting in the passenger seat. This does not happen on the driver's side. Normally you have to move the adjustable slide for the seat belt OH the side of the car up and down repeatedly in order to get the seat belt entangled in order to use it properly. It has now become fully extended and will not retract at all making it unusable. I bought the car used in 2011 and it has been happening since then.

The driver's seat belt does not retract. It folds and jams the mechanism. We have pulled and pulled and sometimes it does unfold, but more often than not we have the belt snapped in, but it is not doing it's job because it is completely pulled out and way too big.

6 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 02/15/2011

We have a 2006 Toyota Camry. We just have an 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. This is obviously and unsafe condition and I feel a cause for a recall.

Front end collision with 2006 Toyota camera. 40-45 mph crash. Seat belt failed to fire. Airbags did not deploy. Engineering analysis confirmed that seat belts did not fire, air bags failed to deploy, torn-defective air bag sensor. Research indicated there was a recall on this air-bag system for Toyota camera's 2006 model but was never notified. Need government agency to analyze computer codes.
