Consumer Description

DRIVER'S SEAT BELT WILL NOT COME OUT OF HOLDER OFTEN, MUST PULL REPEATEDLY TO GET UNIT TO RELEASE. ONCE YOU GET THE SEAT BELT ON IT LOCKS OFTEN MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO TURN TO SEE REAR TRAFFIC. I HAVE BARELY AVOIDED ACCIDENTS 3 TIMES DUE TO THIS. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE BELT WILL LOCK. MY LIFE IS IN DANGER DRIVING THIS CAR, TOYOTA SAYS THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE AND I DON'T NEED TO TURN MY BODY IN ORDER TO SEE REAR TRAFFIC. SHELOR SAYS THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM. COME DRIVE THIS CAR AND YOU WILL SEE INSTANTLY. WHO CAN SOLVE THIS BEFORE I AM KILLED? *AK
