| The left rear and rear center seatbelt receptacles are installed adjacent to one another, but in a reverse position in 2008 toyota prius vehicles. when passengers are seated in both the left rear and center positions, their belt/shoulder harness straps cross at the adjacent receptacles, causing chafing. toyota informs me this feature is by design. i believe this is a potential point of failure of the seat belts, and is therefore a safety issue. *tr | |||
