In owners' own words
Automatic seat belts on 1991 Toyota Camry are faulty. They don't retract when the door is opened or closed. They fail to operate properly. The driver side seat belts fails to retract and makes noise. The seat belts warning indicator flashes on the board. This is a safety issue hence should be considered as for recall on my 1991 Toyota Camry. Seat belts
The drivers side shoulder harness has froze in the locked position. Tried to repair and found out nobody knows how to repair and no parts available. I received a ticket and elected to manually slip it over my each time.. This really sucks because it is a low mile well cared for car. Toyota should help....Good luck with that..............
