Front driver's side seat belt will not disengage from retractor. Not only is this a safety issue but it is illegal to drive in this (and most) state(s) without wearing a seat belt.

I do not feel that when or if an accident ever occurs to this vehicle that the seat belts will operate correctly. They have been repaired and/or replaced on several occasions and still they do not recoil properly. I have to drive my family in this vehicle everyday and I've tried to return the car to the dealer but they will not be fair and are trying to force me to pay severe penalties. I'm not in a favorible position in the lease. However that shouldn't have any bearing on this seat belt safety issues that I'm seemingly forced to live (or die) with.

The driver's seat belt does not extend. The entire assembly has been replaced twice before, most recently 5 months ago.

Once you get the seat belt on it locks often making it impossible for me to turn to see rear traffic. I have barely avoided accidents 3 times due to this. You never know when the belt will lock. My life is in danger driving this car, Toyota says this is a safety feature and I don't need to turn my body in order to see rear traffic. Shelor says they can't duplicate problem. Come drive this car and you will see instantly. Who can solve this before I am killed?.

I would really like to see you look into a recall of this vehicle for the seat belt issue. You have more complaints on the 1997 Toyota for seat belts failing to retract than anything else. The factory obviously knows there is a probelm, have admitted they have a problem in my car, yet are playing the odds by forcing me to wait a year to get my case to court. I fortunately can, but what about families that cannot. In my case they can't even guarantee they have found the problem, yet want a fifth, and most likely sixth time to fix it. My goal now is to make people aware of this probelm, get my money back and force a recall. Please at least look into the situation.

The right rear seatbelt has failed to retract 4 separate times, I have contacted manufacturer, but received minimal help. I have concerns about vehicles safety and am pursuing a lemon law case against them.
