Drivers side seat belt buckle. The spring broke in the seat belt buckle where it clicks in and seat belt won't stay fastened. Safety issue.
The seat would not properly retract after unbuckling on our 2003 toyota camry le. Pulling it out to retract it caused it to become fully extended so that the seat belt could not be worn. We had to drive it to the dealer in violation of ohio seat belt laws. The dealer could not retract it either and charged us $322.00 to repair it. If we were in an accident we would not have a seat belt restraint.
