2 issues to report 1) when under medium consistent breaking(slowing down for a light) there are instances where the breaks feel like they let up or slipping. This issue has been reported and with the car since the first year of ownership but Toyota says it-??s all within spec 2) second issue is an issue with the rear captions seatbelt and has also been reported since 2022 where upon normal driving the seatbelt locks up and the car has to be stopped and seatbelt unbuckled to release tension. Also brought up multiple times with Toyota and no action. Kids sometime unbuckling while car is driving since they cannot move

Recall: OCS Sensors May Short Circuit; 3TB15/23TA15 ; I am a owner of 2021 Sienna Hybrid (VIN [XXX] ) and was getting alert for the airbag and seat belt warning even when plugged in. I took it to a dealer in Sunnyvale California (Stevens Creek Toyota; 4202 Stevens Creek Blvd San Jose, CA 95129; 408-984-8833) and they are not recognizing the recall. I was charged a diagnostics fee of $ $899.93 and am being asked to pay $ 2000 to replace the car seat to fix the issues. Your advise is solicited. Best regards. Thanks -- [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My young daughter got the seatbelt caught around her waist. The seatbelt was unable to give any slack and was locked up. It could retract a little bit but that would only squeeze around my daughter-??s waist tighter. The seatbelt would not pull forward. We eventually had to cut the seatbelt to release her. It caused red marks around her waist and had we tried to retract it any further could have suffocated her. We took the van to the dealer to replace the seatbelt and they had said they heard of this happening before but it wasn-??t a malfunction but just a weird design quirk. This incident has not been investigated.

The driver-side second-row seatbelt goes slack for no reason while driving. All tension is released, and the loose belt falls forward. This is a serious safety issue for the child riding in that seat with no working seatbelt. This has happened about a dozen times on various days while driving. The dealer first denied there was a problem, then they claimed they fixed it. But it is still happening.
