2005 Toyota MATRIX Seat Belts Rear Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	653201
Internal NHTSA #	10210024
Manufacurer	TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	MATRIX
Model Year	2005
File date	01/10/07
Component	SEAT BELTS:REAR
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The rear seat passenger-side and driver-side restraints are poorly designed and as such, they do not provide any lateral security near the doors for small passengers. My six year old daughter of average size usually falls below the shoulder restraint when she falls asleep. When she awakes and lifts her torso, the shoulder restraint often ends up behind her torso! This renders the shoulder restraint completely ineffective in preventing injury to the upper torso or head in any significant collision. Her head ends up resting on the door and this is potentially deadly in a side-impact crash.
