Passenger side seat belt does not retract...the seatbelt light stays on whether or not someone is sitting in the seat. I had the light diagnosed for $91 but they said that there was actually a problem with the airbag system. Regardless, the seatbelt still does not retract.

What owners say
2002 toyota solara passenger front seatbelt fails to retract.
Passenger side front seatbelt won't retract again after a 2nd seatbelt was installed.
This complaint is the same with case #10243192 - driver side seat belt and back seat belt,do not retract sometimes. Im the original owner and the mileage is close to 95000.
On my 2002 toyota solara convertible the front seat belts do not retract. I was told by a toyota service manager that the seat belt retractor springs have weakened and need to be replaced. I called the toyota customer experience center and they say because the car is no longer under warranty that I am responsible for getting the problem fixed. I do not believe that something as important as seat belts should brake on a car. I have owned many cars and this is the first time that I have seen this problem. The car has 94,000 miles on it and was a one owner car when I bought it 2 weeks ago. The msrp for the parts are over $200 for each seat belt. I think this is a design flaw and a safety hazard on these cars.
