Front dashboard is cracking and sticky. I have heard Toyota had a recall at one time, however I cannot find it. Also, seatbelt in the middle and rear seats lock often in place without breaking. Must unbuckle to release and reset.

When attempting to install my forward facing car seat using latch, I've not been able to locate the hook for the top tether, that should be located behind each of my 2nd row seats. Despite checking the manufacturers manual, I was merely able to locate what felt like a hook that is completely covered by fabric. Not knowing any better, I mistakenly hooked the tether strap to another hook that was located behind the seat. In completing a cpst course, I've learned that this practice could have significantly injured or killed my child if we had been involved in a wreck. My cpst instructors agreed with my suspicion that there is a defect in the construction of these seats, and that the tether bar should not be completely covered by fabric. My fear is that other families with this vehicle are putting their children at risk of injury or death because they aren't utilizing the top tether simply because they can't access the bar for it.

The driver's seatbelt has started releasing itself during motion; this happens every time I drive. In addition, when stationary and about to drive, when I try to latch the seatbelt it has become almost impossible to get the seatbelt to latch. In addition, it is almost impossible to get out of the seatbelt when stopping driving because it is stuck in the latch. This combination of self-release, non-latching, and being stuck is a serious danger hazard and needs to be recalled by Toyota. The vehicle is undriveable in this condition.

Our Toyota Sienna has 2 seat belts that will no longer function properly. We contacted Toyota (case# 1609160545) Toyota refuses to stand behind this safety related failure. This is our families main transportation and we keep it maintained. However, this is not a maintenance issue. A vehicle manufacturer has an incumbent duty to deliver a product that is safe for consumer use. I find it very concerning Toyota feels it is not necessary to offer seat belts that will operate properly for the life of their customers vehicle. We have seats we can't put our children in due to the fact, there is no restraints to keep them safe. It's unconscionable.

Middle row passenger seat belt jammed and will not release it is locked. Unable to use seatbelt. We were on vacation at the time had to drive over a 1000 miles home without being able to use the seatbelt!! it had jammed several times before and after several tries I was able to unjam but this time not able to release it. Took to dealer today for the spare tire recall fix (been driving around with spare tire in my trunk unable to fold seats down and use van as needed for almost a year) and to have the seat belt repaired the service technician informed me that the seat belt assembly is broken this is a $496 (parts and labor) repair.!!! since this is a major safety issue I believe this should be recalled by Toyota. Part number #73301ae011B0

The front driver's seat belt became jammed and could not be released. I was 3 miles away from home and, after struggling for a while, had to drive home without wearing a seatbelt. We had to take apart the interior panel to fix the seatbelt. I have googled and apparently this is a common problem for the Sienna.

The driver seat seatbelt keeps jamming, to the extent that it won't unjam.

The driver side seat belt folds up on itself and won't release or retract. This is not the first time it's happened. Took it to the dealership on both occasions and was advised to not "yank the belt hard." Pillar cover was removed and seat belt was found to be "all twisted inside." It was "adjusted to normal operation;" however, it cost me $108 to get it fixed. I have never had this happen in any other car I have owned.
