What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota fj crusier. The contact stated that the seat belts would not retract backward. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised that because the vehicle was outside of warranty and there were no recalls, repairs would be at the contacts expense. The manufacturer confirmed what the dealer stated and provided no further assistance. The failure mileage was 54,000.
The seat belt is stuck in the out position 24/7 and will not retract. It is apparently a common problem. It is known that these seat belt retractors are fully rusted and ready to fall apart. It is unheard of in a vehicle that is 10 years old. It must be faulty construction / engineering of the part. Toyota will not honor any such repairs to safety equipment, unless 3 years or less, which is a surprise because one would think having the liability of faulty safety equipment such as seat belts not working correctly…
