OUTBOARD REAR SEATBELTS DO NOT EXTEND OR RETRACT. SO MY KIDS CANNOT RIDE IN IT. FUEL TANK ISSUE INVOLVES EXTREMELY HIGH VAPOR BUILDUP. WHEN I TAKE THE CAP OFF TO ADD FUEL, VAPOR PRESSURE IS SO BAD THAT IT HAS BLOWN THE CAP OUT OF MY HAND WHEN REMOVING IT. CAP HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A OEM REPLACEMENT WITH NO CHANGE IN PRESSURE. NO DIFFERENCE IF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY OR DRIVEN FOR EXTENDED PERIODS IN EITHER CASE.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 89V155, MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: K04. REAR SEAT BELT RECALL. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP (LARRY H MILLER TOYOTA, MURRAY, UTAH) NOTIFIED ME OF THE OPEN RECALL DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE SERVICE. THEY CHECKED FOR THE PARTS TO SATISFY THE RECALL WORK, AND COULD NOT FIND THEM. AFTER CHECKING FOR PARTS FOR ABOUT 2 2 WEEKS, THEY TOLD ME TO CALL "TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE". INITIAL REP I SPOKE TO SAID TOYOTA SHOULD OFFER SOME KIND OF REMEDY, IF UNABLE TO SATISFY THIS SAFETY RECALL. A "SENIOR AGENT" FROM TOYOTA NAMED [XXX] CALLED ME (10 DAYS AFTER MY INITIAL CALL TO REPORT THIS) AND SAID THE PARTS NO LONGER EXIST, AND DID NOT OFFER ANY KIND OF REMEDY. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. TOYOTA DID NOT OFFER A SOLUTION. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER SIMILAR SITUATIONS WHERE TOYOTA DID OFFER A REMEDY, BUT THEY DID NOT OFFER MY A REMEDY. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING, AND NOW I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY TOYOTA. TOYOTA NOT STANDING BEHIND THIS OPEN RECALL, OR OFFERING ME ANYTHING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
