POWER TRAIN - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
08/13/1985	30000	1
	In 1984, i owned a toyota celica and was on the freeway driving when i had the car sped up and i was unable to slow down. well ahead of recent complaints. as i came down a busy off-ramp, i could do nothing but to turn the car off. i finally came to a stop without incident. i turned the car back on and stressed over what would happen at that moment with hazard lights flashing to alert others. the car started fine and i drove to the nearest parking lot. i called toyota who sent a service rep to my location and found nothing wrong. i had no other incidents like this, in that car, but it goes back some time and to a time when computers were less a part of vehicle monitoring. *tr
SEAT BELTS - FRONT - ANCHORAGE
05/08/1998		2	04/01/1991
	Both the passenger and the driver seat belts stopped working. they do not adjust or stop when pulled on quickly to simulate an accident. i contacted three local dealers and they all say that the seat belts are only warrantied for 60,000 miles. i thought that seat belts carried a lifetime warranty. can you give me any information on this. thank you.
SEAT BELTS - FRONT - RETRACTOR
07/30/2004	230000	15
	The front seat belt retractor failed and as a result the passenger were not restrained. ak the consumer had seat belt campaign ssc 604 complete but it did not help. the set belts have now become broken because they hang out of the door when it is being shut. nm
