About a year ago the driver-side rear shoulder belt failed to retract. I chose not to get it replaced, because my child rides on the passenger side. Now the passenger-side rear shoulder belt will not retract.

I will be spending nearly $600 to get the shoulder belts replaced.

I own a 2000 Toyota Camry with 65,000 miles. I acknowledge that the vehicle is out of warranty regarding the following safety device failure. The passenger side rear seat belt has failed and needs to be replaced. The best Toyota will do is charge me 50. 00 to fix it. This is in the face of a major recall for the Toyota sienna van with a recent seat belt failure. I believe that the seat belt in question is the same model in both vehicles. Toyota has agreed to replace all seat belts in the van at no charge to the van's owners. The seat belt has been certified as dead by handy Toyota, however Toyota refuses to extend the same offer to me.

I have driven a Toyota Camry for 14 years and have never had an accident nor a traffic citation. In October 2004 we bought a new Toyota Camry. On April 25, 2005 I drove to a meeting at a private home on a 27 acre farm. I had two passengers in the car. When backing up very slowly to turn the car around I had a sudden unexpected speed surge. Brakes did not work. I glanced off one car damaging the back bumper and putting a crease in the side, then hit a pickup truck square on its bumper knocking off the licence plate. Since there were people, cars and buildings behind me, I managed to get it out of reverse but then it surged forward (no brakes) went about 150 ft and I had to turn off the key in an attempt to slow the car down. This was on a long gravel driveway and the car was out of control. It coasted about 90 ft, went through a wire fence, hit a fence post, a roof support, and hit a 800 lb baler which moved 5 ft into a large farm sprayer. Three people witnessed what happened and heard the car when it surged backward. The rear seat belt snapped open on impact. One of the passengers was injured, one had bruises.
