I was notified at the end of april that there was a recall regarding the safety of the backseat seatbelts possibly separating in the event of a frontal crash. I was provided with a courtesy vehicle and have been driving it for over 2 months while still paying for my vehicle that sits in a dealership lot awaiting a fix. I continue to be told that there is not yet a fix for this recall. I find it unacceptable to not have identified a fix or made parts available to rectify this matter. At this time, I would like an alternative to this matter.

This recall affects the rear passenger safety belts in the vehicle. There is a potential the seat belts may become cut or separated. I have a family to drive around so I asked that toyota provide a loaner vehicle until the issue could be resolved. I contacted both toyota customer service and my local toyota dealership, both denied my request for a safe vehicle to drive to protect my family. I also have an infant and my infant can only ride in the back of the car. The rav 4 is a four passenger vehicle and we were advised by a car seat specialist not to install the car seat in the middle. We would like a loaner vehicle as soon as possible and we may seek legal representation to take action against toyota in order to protect my family from this unsafe vehicle. The federal safety agency recall 16v‑096

Good afternoon sir/ma'am, I am a government employee at dover afb. This vehicle is not mine; however, it was one I had interaction today. As I walked to my own vehicle I was summoned to a 2012-2013 toyota rav4 to a distressed mother. Her son (approximately 2 years old) had somehow managed to pull the rear passenger seatbelt (shoulder piece) all the way out to the locking point, got it wrapped around his neck, and it began choking him. By the time I got there it was so tight and already unbuckled but unable to be freed from his neck. It took a mere few seconds to realize it was further locking despite holding it and trying to keep [xxx] still. I asked his mother for a boxcutter which she had in the center console but was still unable to cut it from him myself and she was obviously too distraught to do it or assist me. I sent her for help and another co-worker helped me by cutting it as I held him. My questions is this... After doing a little research on the subject and people being well versed in ways to prevent. This was a very preventative mother already, not sure there was much else she could do and simply having a box cutter in the car seem ludicrous. Has there been any thought on making a button for parents to push to manually unlock these belts to prevent this? There should be a manual release and I just do not know that I have ever seen one. I am trying to do patient teaching at my position as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated to prevent a tragedy from occurring. Luckily my experience turned out happy but it was definitely frightening. V/r [xxx] VIN unavailable information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).?
