2000 Toyota Camry Solara complaints

PASSENGER DOOR WINDOW WOULD OCCASIONALLY HIT THE DOOR FRAME WHEN BEING CLOSED, CAUSING A VIOLENT SHAKE AND LOUD HITTING NOISE. HAD TO BRING TO THE DEALER TWICE BEFORE I COULD GET IT FIXED.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT ROCKS WHEN ACCELERATING, AND TOYOTA HAS A TBS FOR THE 1999 MODEL, BUT IT DOESNT COVER MY CAR, MADE IN 9/99. THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE OR FIX THE ROCKING CHAIR, AND I FEEL THAT IT WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL WHILE DRIVING. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM.*AK

SEAT BELT FIT ACROSS THE DRIVER NECK

THE CONSUMER WAS ASKING NHTSA TO INTERVENE IN THE DISPUTE THAT WAS UNFAIRLY DECIDE. *YH

FRONT PASSENGER SEATBELT HAS BROKEN THREE TIMES IN TWO MONTHS. BELT JAMS WHEN PASSENGER LEANS FORWARD WHILE WEARING THE BELT (THE BELT THEN HANGS LOSE). BELT SEEMS TO TWIST OR FOLD OVER AT THE POINT WHERE IT COMES OUT OF THE SIDE OF THE CAR. SPEED DURING FIRST INCIDENT - ABOUT 40 MPH AND BRAKING, SECOND INCIDENT 55 MPH, THIRD INCIDENT 0 MPH (AT A STOP LIGHT). DEALER INITIALLY REPLACED THE BELT, BUT ONLY "UNTWISTED" IT THE SECOND AND THIRD TIMES. SERVICE TECH AT DEALERSHIP TELLS ME IT'S A "DESIGN FLAW" AND IS GOING TO KEEP HAPPENING IF I'M NOT "CAREFUL" WITH THE SEATBELT. SERVICE DEPT SAY THEIR HANDS ARE TIED, CAN'T DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN FIX IT WHEN IT DOES BREAK - AND THEY SAY IT WILL PROBABLY WILL BREAK AGAIN. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I CALL TOYOTA CUSTOMER RELATIONS IN CA - THEY SIMPLY MADE A REPORT AND TOLD ME TO WORK THE PROBLEM OUT WITH MY DEALERSHIP. I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT THE SEATBELT WILL FAIL DURING AN ACCIDENT.

CONSUMER'S SHOULDER BELT TWISTS & DOES NOT LAY STRAIGHT. VEHICLE HAS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT RETRACTS THE SEATBELTS BACK IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED. TOYOTA BASICALLY REPLIED THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED. THE CONSUMER SAID THAT SEAT BELT WAS UNCOMFORTABLE & UNSAFE.*AK
