Front Seat Belt Retractor Problems of Toyota T100

Weak spring on seat belts for both passenger and driver. Will not completely recoil, and therefore was frequently crimped in door with door closure. Weak belt was expected to result, a hazard for both the drive and the other front seat passenger, but especially the driver.

Seat belt tensioner too weak and allows seat belt to hang loose once buckled. Unwary driver closes door and a loop of seat belt hangs outside vehicle. Could result in catastrophic results in crash. Not uncommon for me to see other T100 pickups driving down the road with a loop of belt visible outside the vehicle.

Front seat belts will not retract when disengaged. Retractor spring not strong enough to retract the belt through the b-pillar anchor point. Consequently, the belt was loose, not tight to shoulder, when in use, and was a safety issue. Further, since the belt did not retract when disengaged the belt occasionally got caught in the door which weakens the belt strength. Dealer not willing to fix, and denied a problem existed. Therefore, any replacement part will have the same weak spring issue, and will not correct the problem.

Both front seatbelts fail to retract. Often since they don't retract, they get caught in the door when closed and cannot restrain the driver/passenger in a crash. Please help! they've been replaced by capital Toyota in salem oregon, once. Thank you!.

Front shoulder seat belts will not retract. They will hang on the floor. The dealer attempted to repair the problem approximately four times, and cannot duplicate the problem.

Front lap/shoulder belts will not retract fully when disengaged. The retractor is not strong enough to pull the webbing through the d-ring mounted on the b-pillar. Consequently, the slack in the webbing sometimes gets caught in the door jamb when exiting the vehicle. The strength of the webbing is diminished as it frays. The dealer service representative informs me that the retractor spring is too weak but Toyota has no plans on a repair kit. The safety belt would be replaced with the like w/in the five year warranty period.

Drivers side seat belts do not retract properly. Do to this condition excess slack is often caught in the door while driving causing an unsafe condition. The passenger seat belt also performs poorly. It occasionally will not give enough slack for the passenger to fasten the seat belt. I have had the drivers side belt replaced numerous times due to abrasions it has received from being caught in the door. The passenger belt has also been replaced once. I beleive that since this is such a critical safety component that it should be recalled.
