CarComplaints.com Notes: Was the 7th generation Corolla bit by the same spider as Peter Parker? Because these cars definitely have a super-power: invincibility.

Driver seat belt won't come out have to actually be moving and apply brake to get it to work. Am currently tring to get dealer to fix. Also seems to lock when driving, but release when brake is applied. Second problem occurred when braking sudeenly. Something hit transmission control, putting vehicle into neutral while driving. Should not be able to move without depressing safety button but did. (possibly was hit by something in car?)

With all the similar complaints this item should be subject to a recall as it is law to drive with a seatbelt on.

This is the third time in two years that the seatbelts have failed. When the seatbelt does pull out of its housing, it can tighten up, restricting the ability of the driver to turn to see traffic situations. Sometimes the seatbelt will not pull out at all; sometimes it will pull out after multiple tries. I am not comfortable driving my car without a properly working seatbelt!
