 Manufacturer inserted a plug in the engine block on the passenger's side, causing oil leak.
SEAT BELTS
12/08/200211500002/14/1992
 2 of the seat belts on my 1992 toyota landcruiser came completely out in a passenger's hand. the vehicle has been strictly maintained according to the manufacturer's standards and by toyota dealership service. we were very lucky that the car was not moving at the time - but this could happen in an accident. this is a large safety issue in my opinion. i think all landcruisers should be recalled to have their seat belts checked and that this check should be added to the list of regular maintenance items by the manufacturer. who would suspect that the seatbelt construction was so faulty that it erodes over time?

 Tire blew out on an interstate highway. tread separated from sidewall. i am requesting an investigation since i cannot determine if the incident was due to tire failure. i have a complete set of these tires on the vehicle and cannot be confident driving at highway speeds until i can rule out tire failure as the cause. *ak
