Seat Belt Problems of Toyota Tundra - part 1

The date it started happening was probably late March now into April to present day as the receptacle on the driver side doesn’t click always and comes undone while on the road and can not get the seatbelt to go back in and has not been assessed or replaced by my local Toyota dealer and the issue is getting worse these are stock parts.

There are several issues with these seatbelts. They either lock before we can get them buckled or once we unbuckle them, they do not retract and hang out the door, thus draining the battery. They get twisted and stuck in the plastic guide toward the top of the door. The last time this happened, I could not get the seatbelt unstuck despite working on it for almost an hour. I ended up cutting the seatbelt to get it unstuck. Now it is extremely difficult to use. I need to get it replaced ASAP at my own expense. Very unsafe not to mention frustrating. Also, worth noting is this has been an ongoing problem for years.

Both rider and driver seat belt become unlatched randomly. I have no expectation these will remained secure if involved in an accident.

Hit a power pole going 55mp,broke the pole in half. Airbags did not deploy,seat belt did not engage. I hit my face on the glass and the steering wheel,nearly broke my face. My dog was in the back thankfully. My hips took the brunt of the impact, they still hurt. A idaho state trooper investigated with video showing our totaled truck around a broken pole, no air bag or seat belt employed,my smashed face covered in blood. Did a little research and found that our 2000 Tundra isnt in a recall???what does it take to set off a Tundra airbag?? also found out that I should be thankful it didnt go off or I may have been injured by a discharge of schrapnel??found several victims of that. My wife takes a blood thinner and often goes with me to town,but now shes not going to be able to safely ride in her own vehicle anymore?? this reminds me of how cps drops the ball and just lets kids die before they ever do anything. I will be doing alot more with my pen as my sword my video as my witness,I loved my Tundra but this is more way more dangerous than my 1990 truck with basic mechanics. If you have a Tundra or other vehicle that is dangerous ,speak out about it,get an attorney,save someones life. These are dangerous airbags,no doubt in my mind. Ps our truck is 100% unmodified other than tire changes. Now a death trap, until this is resolved.

The Toyota Tundra 2002 truck did not deploy driver's side and passenger's side airbags in a collision consisting of frontal and left-sided collision with immobile objects, with frontal/top profound impact from standing tree. The car was up to date on its inspections and maintenance. The breaks, though appropriately checked and tested, would take longer than normal to break the vehicle. The seatbelt, if pulled hard enough, would easily dislodge from buckle, coming undone. The driver of this vehicle collided as described above and due to the failure(s) of the safety mechanisms in place, resulted in the death of the driver. The driver was restrained with seatbelt, however dislodged from buckle upon impact and no airbags deployed. The issue(s) have been confirmed by the police report, the county police documented. The vehicle has been inspected by police officers, and possibly others, including the employees of the towing company. There was no indication thats the airbag deployment was either "off" if possible, and or indications of airbag defect. No messages or lights were indicated for the failure of the deployment of the airbags. No messages or lights were indicated for the defect and or failure of the seatbelt not remaining intact with force. The person in reference passed away on impact at scene. The failures of the safety mechanisms put into place for this vehicle are absolutely unacceptable and beyond subpar.

Seat belt repeatedly unhooks after you insert buckle in to locking mechanism. Seat belt was secured in locking mechanism and verified by pulling on strap after locking in place. Later as you drive around the belt unlocks by itself. I have invested and discovered that the spring lock is weak, defective and will no longer stay on the proper lock position. It seems the internal springs are broken or at best weakened an can dislodge from the locked position at anytime in a few seconds or hours after it was secured. This problem gives you a false sense of security. This is an immediate safety and life threatening issue. The unlocking can happen in the park position, driving on a street or driving on a highway. The problem can be detected by the red �press� button should be all the way extended when the latch is not in place. If the latch does not extend fully and it's not flush with the edge of the buckle then it is defective. Lock button can be maneuvered into the lock position by wiggling it, but it will not hold in place.

When you get ready to drive down the road the accelerator is very touch I took it in for the recall but it's still the same very dangerous, the passenger seat belt while the truck is going down the road the seat belt will tighten up so tight its chocking you and it want loosen up unless you uhook it.

This issue affects the seatbelt safety. When I try to latch the driver's seatbelt the release button is depressed and the seatbelt will not engage until I push the button down numerous times. The problem is time-consuming and very likely is a safety issue if the release button does not return to its normal position. This has occurred over the life of the vehicle and happens whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion.

The seatbelt on the passenger side front seat will no longer latch. This happens at any time the passenger tries to buckle up. The issue is with the catch and not the buckle. There is no damage to the exterior of the catch and when you stick the buckle inside, it simply will not catch to lock the buckle in place.

Tensioner extremely slow to retract on driver and passenger side of my 2000 Toyota Tundra sr five four-wheel-drive. Contacted 1-800 Toyota number and told it was not a safety issue although I had had it fixed two times under warranty and to get the dealer to fix it although it is very expensive. Why is this not a vehicle safety issue like on my 2007 prius. Why hasn't the very known Toyota seat belt tensioner issue on all Toyota, alexis, scion vehicles between 2000 and now been recalled. I don't like taking my life in my hands every time I drive if this is a safety issue.
