Consumer Description

I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE YOU LOOK INTO A RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE FOR THE SEAT BELT ISSUE. YOU HAVE MORE COMPLAINTS ON THE 1997 TOYOTA FOR SEAT BELTS FAILING TO RETRACT THAN ANYTHING ELSE. THE FACTORY OBVIOUSLY KNOWS THERE IS A PROBELM, HAVE ADMITTED THEY HAVE A PROBLEM IN MY CAR, YET ARE PLAYING THE ODDS BY FORCING ME TO WAIT A YEAR TO GET MY CASE TO COURT. I FORTUNATELY CAN, BUT WHAT ABOUT FAMILIES THAT CANNOT. IN MY CASE THEY CAN'T EVEN GUARANTEE THEY HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM, YET WANT A FIFTH, AND MOST LIKELY SIXTH TIME TO FIX IT. MY GOAL NOW IS TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF THIS PROBELM, GET MY MONEY BACK AND FORCE A RECALL. PLEASE AT LEAST LOOK INTO THE SITUATION. *AK
