| Description of the problem | The driver's seatbelt has started releasing itself during motion; this happens every time i drive. In addition, when stationary and about to drive, when i try to latch the seatbelt it has become almost impossible to get the seatbelt to latch. In addition, it is almost impossible to get out of the seatbelt when stopping driving because it is stuck in the latch. This combination of self-release, non-latching, and being stuck is a serious danger hazard and needs to be recalled by toyota. The vehicle is undriveable in this condition. |
