Problem with Equipment Adaptive

Aug 14, 2014 - Mobile, AL - Equipment Adaptive
DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT NYLON WEBBING (ACTUAL BELT PORTION) HAS STARTED TO SEVERELY UNRAVEL IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT PLACES. I FEEL THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT IN MATERIALS; HOWEVER, LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED INFORMS ME THAT IT WILL COST ME $270 TO REPLACE THIS BELT. COST SO HIGH BECAUSE THE WHOLE MECHANISM MUST BE REPLACED...NOT JUST WEBBING. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN ON A FIXED INCOME & CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE BELT @ THIS COST. I FEEL MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPLACE @ NO CHARGE SINCE A DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT ON DRIVERS SIDE IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE BEEN A LONG TIME TOYOTA CUSTOMER & THIS IS MY 1ST COMPLIANT EVER.
