Driver's seatbelt doesn't latch well and when latched it is very difficult to unlatch making you feel trapped in vehicle.

Highlander 6-cyl

  • miles
Vehicle is equipped with seat belt sensors and alerts for all seats, yet fails to accurately report which seats are buckled or not when occupied. This alert is supposed to occur when turning on the vehicle and before shifting out of park. Many times, with just the driver sitting and no passengers in the car, it reports that there are people seated with an unbuckled seat belt. Other times when there are people seated and unbuckled the system does not recognize it and no alert appears. This is a safety feature that is advertised for sales but does not work. Ensuring that these advertised safety features function correctly should be of high importance especially when people like I do, depend on them for the safety of their children.
