My husband was a passenger in this car when a dump truck smashed into the drivers side door, the impact caused the passenger side door to open which unlocked the seat belt which allowed my husband to be ejected from the car. He suffered broken back, crushed tibia, broken ribs....all because the door opened and the automatic seat belts unlocked when door opened. Seats where supposed to keep you in the car and not ejected from the car.

Harness design unsafe! Better, safer harness design needed. Manufacturer not accessible for contact to make report directly and seek compensation for failures and repair costs.

I have a 1990 toyota camry with a motorized shoulder belt. In june of 1998 with 87,000 miles the shoulder belt quit working and was stuck in the open position. This leaves only the lap belt for protection. I have taken the car to a dealer and have contacted toyota by both e-mail and telephone. According to the dealer, it appeared to be either parts that were broken in the door, or the more probable answer of the wiring in the door jam being defective. I understand that the car is beyond the warranty period, however, it seems that such an important and basic safety system should not fail.

Shoulder belt does not slide from front to back to secure driver. Took to dealer & was informed that wires had snapped & would need to be traced. Would pull on door & sometimes would would work, but not all the time.
