SEATS
I HAD A 2000 TOYOTA CAMRY. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT AND SHE IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE CAR. 1) SHE STOPPED AT HIGHWAY, SINCE ALL CARS IN FRONT OF HER STOPPED. 2) A 98 NISSAN HIT HER CAR FROM BEHIND AROUND 50-60 MILES/H. MY WIFE'S CAR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER, AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER CAR HIT ANOTHER CAR. 3)EVEN THE FRONT SECTION OF MY WIFE'S WAS SERIOUS DAMAGED, NON OF THE FOUR AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THIS ONE IS NOT MY COMPLAINT HERE, JUST PROVIDED AS A REFERENCE INFORMATION. 4)THE DRIVER'S SEAT BECAME FLAT (BEEN DAMAGED BY MY WIFE'S BODY, AND SHE IS ONLY AROUND 130 LBS) RIGHT AFTER THE IMPACT, AND NO MORE SUPPORT FOR THE BODY, (AT THIS SITUATION, SEAT BELT DOES NOT HELP AT ALL), AND SHE SLIPPED OUT OF THE SEAT, AND HER HEAD HIT SOMEWHERE INSIDE THE CAR. SHE GOT SERIOUS CONCUSION. 5) I ONLY SAW TOYOTA TESTED FRONT IMPACT, SIDE IMPACT, DID NOT SEE ANY REAR IMPACT. THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT THE BODY AT THE TIME, AND IT FAILED TO STAY, AND LET THE BODY SLIP OUT OF IT, WITH SEAT BELT ONLY HOOK THE LEGS. 6) THE STRENGTH OF THE DRIVER SEAT (POWER SEAT) NEEDS TO BE EVALUATED, AND I WANT AN ANSWER FROM TOYOTA. 4)

HAD TO PAY O FIX THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE NEWS PAPER SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON TOYOTA CAMRY'S. WHY DOES TOYOTA NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND RE-IMBURSE THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR THIS REPAIR SINCE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RUN PROPERLY OR AT ALL WITHOUT THE REPAIR. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM AND I FEEL THE COMSUMER IS PICKING UP THE BILL FOR THE MANUFACTURERS MISTAKE.*AK
