    THE LOCKS WILL NO LONGER LOCK. WHEN YOU PUSH THE ELECTIC LOCK BUTTON THE LOCK WILL NOT GO DOWN ON THE DOORS. EXTREME SECURITY RISK. ALSO, THE SEAT BELTS IN THE FRONT OFTEN JAM NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT IN ITSELF.*AK

    FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WILL NOT DISENGAGE FROM RETRACTOR. NOT ONLY IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT IS ILLEGAL TO DRIVE IN THIS (AND MOST) STATE(S) WITHOUT WEARING A SEAT BELT. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE HAVE BEEN REPORTED. I BELIEVE TOYOTA OWES IT TO THE CONSUMER TO REPAIR THIS UNSAFE AND ILLEGAL PROBLEM MANY DRIVER'S ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL.*AK
