Seat belts:front:buckle assemblyand back seat belt comes undone ,, i did not know this then i put my grandson in this car seat , click it up it was fine then went around a corner it unckickhe flip over ......andi cant afford to get it fix(related vehicle information: model year=2005, make=toyota, model=camry).
We purchased a 2013 prius v in july. When we bought it, i was concerned about the back seat middle body restraint being attached to the inside roof behind the back passenger seat.but my boys are 6, so felt they would be okay.this week, one of the boys got tangled in the seat belt.when he tried to release the belt, it racheted up and tightened with the belt wrapped around his neck.he & his brother told us he was caught & asked us to stop. We were on a highway, & had to turn off & find a safe place to park.in the meantime, he became more distressed, & said he was having trouble breathing.we looked back & he was wrapped in the belt, stretched in the seat. Needless to say, we were very upset.we stopped, & tried to get the belt loose, but it just pulled tighter.the belt is permanently attached to the lap belt section, & could not be released.we were in the country. No one nearby. We don't carry knives. Fortunately, i had bought years ago, a tool for breaking auto glass, with a cutter in it for seat belts.i was able to find it, and cut the belt.it was very tough, & took a lot of effort.our son was bruised, frightened, but otherwise okay. We will not be repairing the seatbelt, as this is a definite safety hazard. Our son would have hung in the back seat, if he had not been able to tell us he was caught, & couldn't breathe well.this could happen to a child too young to realize what was happening, and be fatal.this is a design flaw that could be fixed by allowing the belt to be released from the lap component of the belt.
We had attached a rear-facing infant car seat in the proper position. We got this inspected by the local police back when it was first attached. It was working fine for 8 months. Last week, when my wife braked the car, the base of the car seat detached itself from the latching restraint that kept it in position. The base came crashing towards the driver's seat. Luckily, our baby was not in the car seat.this seems like a defect either in the latching restraint in the 2003 toyota camry or a defect in the car seat itself.(related vehicle information: model year=2003, make=toyota, model=camry).
During a recent road trip visiting family, my son was riding in the third row seat in our toyota highlander.shortly before arriving at his grandparents, he told me that he had become twisted in his seatbelt.as we were within 10 minutes of our destination, i told him that i would handle the situation when we arrived.a few minutes later he said that the belt was getting tighter and i asked him if i needed to stop and he said that would be a good idea.before i could get stopped (less that a block), he indicated that he was having trouble breathing.when i looked back, i was startled to find that the seat belt had become wrapped around his neck and had ratcheted back in, pinning his neck back against the side of the car.even after stopping, i was unable to pulled the seat belt out to get it out from around my son's neck -- he was strangling in front of my eyes.fortunately, i was in a city with residents close by, one of which heard me screaming and running door to door, who brought out a kitchen knife to cut the belt and release my son. I realize that these ratchet-type seat belts are designed as a safety feature in the third row seat of many makes and models, however, feel that this design also presents a strangulation concern.in cases such as mine, there was no way to get the seat belt released and if this had occur while on rural roads or the interstate, the availability of a knife would have been more difficult to come by.i feel that either an emergency release button should be designed for the ratchet seat belts or consumers need to be aware of the potential for strangulation and advised to carry scissors for this possibility.i have voiced my concerns to toyota and they are replacing the seat belt free of charge, however, i feel that it is important that individuals be aware of this possibility and be prepared.
Mid-row passenger side seat belt guide/cover broken jamming the seat belt preventing it to retract.failure repeated three to four times after each separate repairs.i'm concern for my 7-year old daughter who may not be properly restrainted after she leans forward and the seat belt does not retract.
Toyota sienna sliding automatic doors, with normal operation, first won't close and then won't open in automatic or manual mode. No way to release door from inside or outside. Sliding doors slam shut when door cable breaks.sliding door handles beak off when you try to open or close doors manually. The problem gets worse and worse. Replacementof defective dealer parts with new dealer parts does not last long and partssoon break again. Repair expenses are extremely high. Children mostly occupy rear seat and will either fall out of van or be trapped inside. Or when the cable breakes the door will injure children, especially their arms and hands and fingers. This is a safety engineering defect for the motor, cables and actuators and should be on a recall.
I have a 2016 toyota camry with 20k. Inside the cabin, there are safety handles on the driver and passenger front seat sides above the door. I grabbed the handle as a safety precaution to help hold me in place along with the seatbelts and the handle broke off the wall of the car. This handle is poorly designed by toyota and not strong enough to be used by a typical adult male. The handle should be strong enough that an adult can grab it in confidence and it should be able to withstand a resistance of a person holding it of 300lbs or even more. I've used handles in other cars that would never come off the cabin wall by being grabbed by a person. This car was also very new at 20k and was rarely used. Replacing the handle was around $90, but, it's not the money. The handle is there as a safety device and should be built to standards that it is sturdy and strong enough to be used, confidently, in a safety situation. It serves no other function except to be used to help in a safety situation as a safety tool/option
2 of the seat belts on my 1992 toyota landcruiser came completely out in a passenger's hand.the vehicle has been strictly maintained according to the manufacturer's standards and by toyota dealership service.we were very lucky that the car was not moving at the time - but this could happen in an accident.this is a large safety issue in my opinion.i think all landcruisers should be recalled to have their seat belts checked and that this check should be added to the list of regular maintenance items by the manufacturer.who would suspect that the seatbelt construction was so faulty that it erodes over time?

Vtrac trac off and engine light on. Computer malfunction.
My 2007 camry le automatic transmission (4 cylinder) constantly hesitates when pulling out into intersections, or continuing through an intersection after red lights or stop signs.there have been several close calls when vehicles have had to move around mine to avoid a collision.the vehicle halts at 10-30 mph when it's shifting and continually places my family in harms way.the dealership told me that this is common with the new automatic transmission and there is nothing that can be done.my wife was almost rear ended when the vehicle stopped accelerating for approximately 5-10 seconds!

Right side second row seat belt fails every 2000 to 3000 miles.encasement is located on the seat itself instead of the roof of the vehicle.this clip holding the encasement together pops out allowing the seat belt to catch in opening below, causing the seat belt to fail.a child or passenger could be seriously hurt.most people won't even realize there is a problem unless they check this belt regularly as child passengers generally won't tell you when the belt doesn't not operate correctly.
We own a 2000 toyota tundra pickup.while researching the tether strap system behind the driver's side it was brought to our attention the guide bar has an opening facing towards the door that does not allow for the tether strap to be held securely.we had the dealer look at this and was told all tundras are made this way and that it is not a defect and that it could not be changed.this concerns me that i cannot utilize all safety features of my car seat in the pickup.i need to have two car seats in the truck so simply putting the car seat on the passenger side is not an option.iwould like to see a way for that guide bar to be put in correctly so that it would guide the stap to the tether anchor that is available along the side of the floor.otherwise there should not be an anchor on the drivers side since it cannot be installed correctly because of the guide bar issue as it now stands.
