• Nov 13, 2008 - Lynn, MA - Seat Belts
  I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED USED CAR FROM IRA TOYOTA AND SINCE I'VE OWNED IT 4 THINGS HAVE NEVER WORKED: 1. THE SEAT BELTS ALWAYS STICK AND HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND STILL DO NOT WORK. 2. THE DRIVER'S SEAT DOES NOT MOVE FORWARD AND BACK. THE DEALER LOOKED AT IT MORE THAN TWICE AND STILL WILL NOT FIX IT. 3. THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT TURN SMOOTHLY AND THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHY. 4. THE VEHICLE CONTINUOUSLY TURNS TO THE LEFT, EVEN AFTER ALL NEW, SUPERIOR WHEELS AND TIRES, NEW STRUTS AND TWO FRONT END ALIGNMENTS. THE DEALER: IRA TOYOTA COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG.

  DT: THE CONTACT STATES HE WAS HAVING TROUBLE BUCKLING DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT. UPON INSPECTION OF THE SEAT BELT CONSUMER NOTICED THE BRACKET WAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE BOLT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE SERVICE DEALER. T CONSUMER ASKED IF THERE COULD BE SOMETHING DONE TO PREVENT THE BOLT FROM COMING OFF, THE SERVICE DEALER INFORMED HIM THAT IF THE BOLT WAS INSTALLED CORRECTLY AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. CONSUMER FELT THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE BOLT COULD COME OFF FROM THE SEAT BELT BRACKET, CAUSING THE SEAT BELT TO BE UNSAFE. IT SHOULD PERIODICALLY CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SEAT BELT BOLT WAS STILL IN PLACE. THE CONSUMER DID NOT WISH TO PROVIDE THE VIN NUMBER.
