This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The driver side seat belt does not go up and down to adjust position. It is attached to the access door. By not being able to adjust it from going up and down, it makes it hard to strap it into place next to the seat. This may wear out the sides of the seat belt in time. I have not had a Toyota dealer look at it yet. Thanks.
I own a 2005 Toyota Tacoma xtra cab with 140445 miles on it. When it had 36000 miles I noticed the driver side seatbelts wearing down that was in 2011. It-??s just me so the passenger side is still good. I contacted Toyota about this problem asking them if there were any recalls or any complaints about the seatbelt wearing down. I was told no complaints. I told them my safety concerns they agreed on having my local dealership take care of the problem. It took some convincing to have it approved. So now I-??m having the same issue again I haven-??t contacted them yet. I just hope they will fix the problem again. Like I told the person I spoke to none of my other many vehicles have had a safety belt wearing down on the sides. It could be a poor design that-??s causing it but none the less it-??s needs to be corrected.

After the vehicle was taken to be serviced for NHTSA campaign number: 13V337000 (seat belts), the technician stated that the frame of the vehicle was severely corroded and needed to be replaced.

Went to drive home from work and safety belt on right front passenger side pulled all the way out, will not retract. Have had many issues with the safety belts since buying the truck, such as folding up, not retracting all the way, getting caught, but none as bad as the current issue. Received safety recall notice from Toyota regarding the seat belts in this access cab model, but was informed today by the dealer in placerville that this is not covered under the recall. I firmly believe that the seatbelts on these access cab models are affected by the opening and closing of the rear doors, and have a serious design flaw. Because I need my vehicle for my commute, going to pay for the repair, however, I can only imagine someone dying because of the flaws in the seatbelts in the 2005 Toyota Tacoma access cab model.
