  Starting in 2015, three of the 5 seat belts in my 1998 camry do not remain latched, or fail to initially latch. as a (retired) mechanical engineer, I disassembled them to understand the problem. the defect IS in the anchor mechanism with the "press" button on it. The "press" button has a metal spring mounted on the red plastic part, and the plastic has gradually cracked at the spring mount. this metal spring IS what pushes the metal block through the rectangular hole in the shoulder belt coupler, when it IS plugged into the seat belt anchor and latched properly. eventually, the crack grows to the point that the metal spring cannot exert enough force to reliably latch to the shoulder belt. it may initially latch and feel secure, but can then come loose several minutes later when driving the car. I plan to include 3 photos of the problem part, one showing the crack in the plastic. the vehicle has not been in any accidents, so the seat belt problem has not resulted in any injuries to myself or my passengers. the local toyota service department informed me that there was no extended warranty coverage for seat belts, so I bought new toyota replacement parts for the defective belt anchors. we live in the desert, so long-term heat and cold cycles could be a contributing factor. the spring has its heaviest load on the plastic mount when the seat belt IS not engaged, so the crack could possibly start, or grow, even when the seat belt IS not being used.

  I had used the coast on my cruise control to reduce my set speed from 78mph to 71mph, after about 50 yards, my cruise control sped up on its own to about 76mph before I tapped the brakes and cut the cruise control off. After about 3 minutes, I cut the cruise control back on and went to use the set button to set my speed at 71mph. When I pushed the set button, the cruise control did not 'lock in' to the 71mph but instead started to speed up beyond 71mph and at 75mph I tapped the brake and cut off the cruise control. The next day, the next three time I went to cut the cruise control on and went to push the set button to set it at the speed I was going, the car always took off beyond what I was wanting to set it at and causing me to tap the brakes and I was forced to cut it off because after I had tapped the brake and let off the brake it would start to increase speed again. *tr

• 10132055Beginning in 1998, Toyota introduced side airbags as optional equipment. Toyota does NOT recommend replacement of original seat covers with non-Toyota leather or other seat cover materials on vehicles due to the following: Seat covers NOT recommended by Toyota may affect side airbag performance, in general or in part, during an accident. Modifications that negatively affect side airbag performance can result in severe occupant injuries. Seat covers are an integral part of this safety system. Replacing fabric seat covers with non-Toyota leather or other seat cover materials may compromise the effectiveness of this safety system. The design of the seat is complex, integrating safety and strength with comfort and luxury. Toyota strongly discourages modifying original equipment seats that have optional side airbags. Additionally, Toyota strongly advises against the installation or use of aftermarket seat covers, which could impair the performance of the side airbags in the event of an accident.
