| Seat Belt problems |
During an accident in November of 2015 I received substantial injuries as a result of the airbag not inflating or the seatbelt engaging. I spoke with the body shop as to why neither system worked as designed, they could not answer this question. They believed that the sensors were compressed to engage the air bags but it did not engage. They also noted that when I hit the brakes the seatbelts should have locked which would have kept me stationary instead of allow me to hit the driver door jam above the steering wheel. Both vehicles were in motion. The vehicle that hit me made a left turn into my front left quarter panel damaging the entire panel and part of the front driver door.
Tl- the contact owns a 2008 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that upon making a turn the seat belt warning indicator chimed several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they had beeb unable to provide a remedy. In addition, the contact also stated that the oil was routinely maintained but the pressure had continued to be low. There was no warning indicator when the oil pressure was low. The dealer provided an oil consumption test and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer for further testing and diagnosis for longer than three months. The contact stated that the vehicle was shaking as well as vibrating and was taken back to the dealers. The dealer stated that the bearings had been defective and that the engine may need to be replaced. The manufacturer was to be notified of the failure to determine if they may be able to provide a solution to the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 59,000. Dyd.
The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the seat belt clasp retainer on the driver side failed to retract from the harness. The failure recurred three times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the seat belt clasp retainer was replaced; however the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 45,360.
My husband was putting on the passenger side seat belt and it was really loose and failed to retract. We were in the parking lot of wal mart and he had to go without wearing a seat belt due to its failure to work properly.
I was unable to insert the driver's seat belt into the latch. Repeated attempts failed. Finally, I was able to latch the belt by first depressing the red latch release button and then inserting the seat belt. Since that time the seat belt will no longer insert unless the red release button is pressed and held during insertion. The vehicle was purchased in November of 2007 and the warranty has expired.
I was in a motor vehicle accident hitting the rear of the vehicle directly in front of me which had come to an abrupt stop. My airbags did not deploy, causing my to hit my head on the steering wheel and my knee on the dashboard. I sustained a post concussive syndrome, lost 6 months of work, and 1 year of school, not to mention the financial hardship.
The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Camry. When the contact attempted to pull the seat belt out for use, it locked at a certain point and could not retract. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was diagnosed by the dealer, but the failure continues. The current mileage was 3,118 and failure mileage was 2,500.
