TAKATA RECALL. THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY THE FIRST TIME, AS IT WAS FAILING TO RETURN TO DEFAULT POSITION PROPERLY. THE SEAT BELT WAS REPLACED A SECOND TIME, AFTER I WAS REAR ENDED (IT WAS FAILING TO RETRACT AGAIN AT THE TIME, IDENTICAL TO THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY), AND CRUSHED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS AT A FULL STOP WHEN THE VEHICLE HIT ME FROM BEHIND. THAT CRASH DEPLOYED BOTH AIRBAGS. THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS WERE REPLACED DUE TO THAT CRASH, ALONG WITH THE SEAT BELT. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THOSE TWO REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS WERE MADE BY TAKATA. THE SEAT BELT HAS AGAIN BECOME "UNSAFE" DUE TO IT NOT RETRACTING. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THE SEAT BELT WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY IF I'M INVOLVED IN ANOTHER ACCIDENT! THIS LEAVES ME WITH TWO QUESTIONS: DO I HAVE TAKATA AIRBAGS IN THIS CAR, AND, IS THIS SEAT BELT ISSUE A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED OR AT LEAST HAS A TSB ISSUED? THIS IS AN 18 YEAR OLD CAR THAT I...

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. MY FRIEND TOOK OFF HIS SEAT BELT AND AS IT WAS RETRACTING, IT LOCKED. I TRIED TO PULL ON IT TO SEE IF IT WOULD UNLOCK AND IT WILL NOT BUDGE ONE BIT. IT IS LOCKED ABOUT HALF WAYS.

MY 2000 MUSTANG GT OVERHEATED WHILE I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME, ON A TEN MILE JOURNEY A COUPLE DAYS AGO. UNTIL THIS INCIDENT, MY MUSTANG HAD NEVER OVERHEATED. I BOUGHT THE CAR LAST SEPT. I USED HOSE WATER AT GAS STATION TO COOL IT FIRST ON HOOD THEN ONCE MY ENGINE LOOKED COOLER, I FILLED THE RADIATOR (THINKING WE'D FLUSH THE COOLING SYSTEM WHEN I GOT IT HOME) WATER EMPTIED AS FAST AS I POURED IT IN, FROM INTAKE MANIFOLD BEHIND WHAT LOOKS LIKE THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. MY CAR IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION. NOW I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. BECAUSE I USED ALL MY MONEY TO BUY THIS CAR. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS. MY SITUATION APPEARS IDENTICAL TO SEVERAL ON YOUR SITE, SUCH AS THIS ONE I JUST COPIED FROM ONE OF THE COMPLAINTS POSTED:OCT 08, 2013 - LEXINGTON, SC - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE, ENGINE BEGAN TO OVERHEAT.
