What owners say
Seat belt does not retract properly. I changed back seats, but driver's one is not working either. Help!
Driver's seat belt does not properly retract after being extended. Was replaced once by the local dealer about five years ago even though vehicle was out of warranty. Belt has gradually developed the same problem over the recent years.
Injuries to chest, abdomen, knees, wrist due to air bags non deployment in collision. Obvious front impact damage to vehicle impact estimated @ 40 MPH. No air bag deployment. Other vehicle involved pulled into oncoming traffic with no chance of avoidance. My seat belt locked and caused severe bruising to my sternum, abdomen, knees. I bought this premium priced vehicle based in part on the safety features that did not perform. I could have been killed. Vehicle I was driving as owner is 1999 lexus rx 300 equipped with front and side SRS.
Seat belt does not retract properly & has come loose from the car frame.
