Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

NHTSA ACTION NO. EA89030. PRODUCT RECALL OF REAR OUTER SAFETY BELT WAS ACCURATE BUT TOYOTA'S REPAIR WAS NOT. IT ISN'T THE FRICTION OF THE BELT THAT CAUSES THE LACK OF BELT RECOIL BUT IT IS THE RETURN MECHANISM/SPRING STRENGTH THAT IS THE CAUSE. MY LANDCRUISER DOESN'T RETURN THE REAR BELT EVEN IF NOTHING IS TOUCHING IT. I SUGGEST YOU LOOK AT THE RECALL AGAIN. TOYOTA'S FIX IS CHEAP BUT NOT EFFECTIVE. THEY SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE RETURN MECHANISM COMPLETELY. MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH THE RECALL GUIDE BUT IT DOES NO GOOD. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE RETURN MECHANISM OUTSIDE OF FRICTION PARAMETERS. I CAN'T HAVE MY CHILDREN RIDE ON THAT SIDE OF THE CAR B/C THE SEATBELT DOESN'T OPERATE. *TR
