Seat belt is not retracting to fit front passenger and after it buckles it stays loose. The seat belt device, intended to protect occupants during a crash is not retracting at all after it buckles. Seat belt in the front passenger seating position is presenting a safety hazard.

problem #1

4Runner

  • 22,000 miles
While the vehicle was parked in a driveway, running but not yet in gear or in motion, 5 year old child secured in carseat in 2nd row moved the shoulder/lap seatbelt in such a way that it encircled his waist and would not allow any slack, cinching around the child's waist. The seatbelt retractor would only allow the seat belt to get tighter and would not release any slack. As bystanders attempted to free the child, the seat belt continued to get tighter and tighter. This resulted in the child being limited to taking shallow breaths. The child became very frightened and asked repeatedly if he was going to die. Bystanders had to find tools to remove the seatbelt from the frame of the car in order to free the child and allow him to breathe without constriction.
