problem #3

Sienna 6-cyl

  • 47,500 miles
On 12/25/14 the Toyota Sienna had unexplained acceleration and hit a tree at 31 mph. My wife and son had right side lung contusions. My wife had an open wound from the seat belt. Since she was restrained that well she had a broken left leg and a right clavicle fracture that required surgeries. My wife almost died in delray beach medical center due to blood loss and poor medical attention. We know the seat belt did not work well because the rest of us were able to walk away from the crash. My wife is still suffering and realized from the american council safety lessons that her seat belt did not function correctly and the side bags are dangerous.

Front seat belts are jamming and folding at mechanism where belt should release at shoulder adjustment point from the interior side wall of the van. The driver is left with a completely extended lap and shoulder belt, rendering the safety device useless. The combination of an air bag with a faulty seat belt mechanism is deadly. This vehicle's defect over multiple model years has been well-documented and is a major safety hazard.
