THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM THE CAR I HAD OWNED THE CAR FOR 12 MONTHS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE REAR CENTER SEAT BELT ANCHOR. I ASSUMED THAT I HAD A RECIEVED A RARE DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT ANCHOR. I FELT COMPELLED TO REPORT THIS SECOND FAILURE SINCE I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE ANCHOR, AND THIS MAYBE MORE WIDE SPREAD. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FORM YOU.
