1. The seatbelts in the back seat doesnt not work. It is not strapping and clicking. I am unable to properly strap in my nephew's carseat properly. This not a dealership issue this a manfacturer issue and it needs to be recalled. God forbidden that I get into an accident with my nephew in the car. 2. Recently the car handles on the driver's side both of broken off from the car. I am unable to open my car properly. I dont understand why it broke off I didnt pull on it hard one day it just came 3. The child lock option doesnt work one day I was driving on the high way and my nephew was open to open the back door with the child lock button on. These are major issues that need to be investigated and recalled. 4. The door on the passenger side in the back does not open from the inside. Again dangerous because what if there is a fire and my passengers can't get out.

HEADREST ON 2013 CAMRY HURTS THE BACK OF MY HEAD WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR. IF IT HURTS IN NORMAL DRIVING I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THE HEAD INJURY IS GOING TO BE LIKE IF I GET HIT WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. THE HEAD RESTS SHOULD BE ADJUSTABLE SO THAT THEY CAN BE FITTED TO SHORTER PEOPLE. NO AMOUNT OF UP DOWN ADJUSTING ON THE HEAD REST HEIGHT WORKS TO RELIEVE THE ISSUE. *TR
