| The seat belt stays at far extension and will not retract, so it will not function. i went to my local repair company and they said it could not be fixed and must be replaced. i first notified toyota of this on may 21, 2012 by speaking with the customer experience center. dan said someone would contact me within 1 business day. 2 business days later late pm i received a call from devey who told me to go to a toyota dealer to get it checked out & get an estimate for replacement. i asked if it could be replaced for free, since it is a safety item that should not malfunction. she said get the estimate first and then call her. i went the following day (5/22) and received the estimate. on the morning of may 22 i called devey's number & left a message. on the afternoon of 5/22 i called again. she again was not there, so i held on for someone else to help me. bunny said devey was not available. i told her i am forced to drive without a seatbelt, and asked if she or someone else could help me. she said i can only speak with my case manager devey. i insisted on speaking with her manager. she told me the manager went home. i asked to speak with another manager. she said i could only speak with devey who would absolutely call me back with 24 hours. 24 hours later devey had not called. i called her and she did not answer, but i spoke with someone alse in her department who again said neither he (mauricio)nor anyone else could help me that day. he said a manager would call me back within 24 hours. i told him i am driving around for days without a seatbelt waiting for them, and insisted on speaking with his manager's manager. he said a manager will call you back in 1 business day. | |||
