| The seatbelts in my lexus rx300 do not retract all the way. toyota made a feeble attempt to fix this by placing teflon tape or something like that on the clip that holds the belt up, but it does not work. i have contacted the dealer about it at least three times and they refuse to do anything about it. it is a dangerous situation: if i get into a car accident, the seat belt will be too slack. *tr | |||
