SEAT BELTS
WE HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY. WE PURCHASED IT THIS YEAR. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES THAT WHEN THE DRIVER EXITS THE CAR AND THE SEAT BELT STARTS TO RETRACT IT TWISTS AND GET STUCK IN THE GUIDE. MY WIFE IS UNABLE TO GET IT UNTWISTED AND HAS TO DRIVE IT WITH THE BELT LOOSE AND USELESS. WHEN SHE GETS HOME I HAVE TO USE SOME SORT OF TOOL TO GET IT STRAIGHTENED OUT IN THE GUIDE AND GET IT TO RETRACT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AND UNSAFE CONDITION AND I FEEL A CAUSE FOR A RECALL AS I HAVE READ ON LINE OF SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR MANY YEAR IN MANY MODELS WITH OUT EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. I HAS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. OTHER WISE IT'S A NICE CAR. I HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THANKS. *LN

AFTER MAKING A TURN ONTO A ROAD, BEFORE ENTERING A PARKING LOT, MY BRAKE LIGHTS WENT ON. IT'S A NEW CAR WITH ONLY 3500 MILES ON IT - THE BRAKES SHOULD BE FINE. I TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT, PARK THE CAR, PUT IT IN PARK, AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. I CHECK THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, IT WAS NOT ENGAGED. I TURN THE CAR ON AND THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES AWAY. HOWEVER, NOW I CANNOT TAKE MY CAR OUT OF PARK. IT IS STUCK IN PARK. I STEP ON THE BRAKE, I TURN THE WHEEL AND THE WHEEL TURNS FINE. THE GEAR IS STILL STUCK IN PARK. I CALL THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SEND OUT A TOW TRUCK. I TRY MY CAR ONE MORE TIME AND IT IS STILL STUCK IN PARK. THE DRIVER OF THE TOW TRUCK TRIES, HE PUTS HIS HAND ON THE HANDLE AND BEHOLD, IT SHIFTS OUT OF PARK AND CAN GO INTO R, N AND D. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?? I WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS 'ODD' OCCURRENCE. HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR
