I have a 1995 toyota tercel and the seat belt buckles are broken and no have a correct function. Please i need to know is this a recall i consider this issue affect a security driver and passengersafety in a crash.

I hit a curb side and my buckle unlatched after further checking i noticed with little resistance it sometimes unlatches eventhough it makes the click sound.i have to say that i noticed it in past unlatch but i thought i may have not pushed it well. But it seems part is defective.

Seat belt buckles failed to latch on to seat belt.

I replaced my seatbelt once now the same belt is broken again and the opposite side also is broken. Thye hardley get used in the back seat. Now they tell me they cost 190 dollars to replace them i think they should replace them for free.

Car rear-ended by vehicle traveling at less than 30mph.caused extensive damage, including failure of driver's seat which fell completely back, exposing driver's head to impacted crash zone.bracket on seat was found to be faulty (apparently metal was weak and warped out of shape upon impact) and had to be repaired by body shop.toyota canada was informed and said they would conduct an investigation.all pertinent data was provided for them.no one even looked at the car.finally received letter from toyota stating that toyota has "utmost confidence in the safety of the seats" in my car!letter. Also, down played fact that repair work was done to fix faulty seat bracket (even though i have repair report available).i no longer feel safe driving the car in event of accident and toyota has not bothered to examine car, repair report etc..or consider a recall of similar models to check integrity of metal bracket seat supports!had impact been even slightly harder in this case. Driver would have sustained serious head injury or been killed instantly.

I need to know which technical service bulletins on my car have been updated.the factory claims the dealerships have assistance for vehicles which are displaying some type of concern, but that they have no information to provide for me.i visited the recall section and found 20 technical service bulletins for my car.is there a national database which keeps these records?i sure would appreciate it!no safety defect mentioned in summary.

Engine experienced complete failure without warning, due to failure of the oil indicator, which did not warn of the low oil level.

I was stopped on the freeway in traffic that had stopped, and i was several feet away from the vehicle in front of me.all of a sudden the gas pedal engaged and my car lunged forward.i pressed on the brake as hard as i could but it did not stop it, so i pulled up the hand brake but not before i had hit the rear bumper of the car in front of me. I was ticketed for following too close which was not the case.i explained to the officer what happened when my gas pedal unexpectedly caused to car to accelerate but all he said is that i better get it fixed.i took it to the dealer and they fixed it, but my car insurance went up, as well as the deductible i had to pay to get my car fixed and repair the other gentleman's car.at the time i didn't consider that it was a manufacturer defect but now i know it might well could have been.my mom had given me the car to drive after she could not drive it any more, and she died not too long thereafter.i now have over 210,000 miles on the car and it has been a pretty good car, except for that one incident.thanks.

My 1995 toyota tercel experienced a sudden acceleration episode nearly 2 years ago. I was entering a main road when i noticed the vehicle began to accelerate.i repeatedly pressed the brake, but the vehicle would not respond.fortunately, there were no other vehicles around me at the time, and when i totally realized that the speed was increasing from about 30 mph to about 45 or 50 mph, and i had no control of the vehicle, i put inpark, (it has automatic transmission)it made a strong noise, and the car suddenly halted. I took the vehicle to at least two car shops and they couldn't find anything wrong. What happened to me was exactly as is described in the recalls.and almost two years later i still feel insecure driving any car, and remembering what happened that day and i hope it never happens again. Based on my experience, i'm sure the problem is bigger than it is portrayed now, and it may extend to many more vehicles and models.pleaseinvestigate.thanks.
