| On my 2002 toyota solara convertible the front seat belts do not retract. i was told by a toyota service manager that the seat belt retractor springs have weakened and need to be replaced. i called the toyota customer experience center and they say because the car is no longer under warranty that i am responsible for getting the problem fixed. i do not believe that something as important as seat belts should brake on a car. i have owned many cars and this is the first time that i have seen this problem. the car has 94,000 miles on it and was a one owner car when i bought it 2 weeks ago. the msrp for the parts are over $200 for each seat belt. i think this is a design flaw and a safety hazard on these cars. *tr | |||

| Seat belts continue to fail on '02 solara convertible. the seat belts fail to retract. have taken the vehicle to the dealership 3 times while under warranty and the seat belts have been replaced. happened again while out of warranty and dealer would not replace. it is a concern because my children ride in the back seat and with a convertible...you need your seat belts to work correctly at all times. *jb | |||
