8 Front Seat Belt Anchorage problem of the 1997 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 11/01/1998

This is the third time in two years that the seatbelts have failed. When the seatbelt does pull out of its housing, it can tighten up, restricting the ability of the driver to turn to see traffic situations. Sometimes the seatbelt will not pull out at all; sometimes it will pull out after multiple tries. I am not comfortable driving my car without a properly working seatbelt!.
