    I own a 2000 toyota sienna which i have had for one year. To date, i have paid to repair the rear seat, as once it was taken out, the mechanism broke and it could not be put back in the car. Also, we have replaced the drivers side seat belt (the whole thing) because the seat belt light would constantly blink. Now the passenger side seat belt light blinks when the seat belt is latched and when nobody is sitting…

    Seat Belts

    My seatbelt in my 2000 toyota sienna van became entangled with the gastank opening switch upon release. I could not thereafter re-engage the seatbelt until i stopped the vehicle, opened the door and observed the entanglement. I had loosened the seatbelt in a drive-thru line to get my wallet from my pocket, and attempted to re-fasten the belt which frequently becomes entangled in the mechanism possibly because of…

    The second row, passenger side seat belt buckle in our 2000 toyota sienna is not staying "clicked"; sometimes without the button being pushed, the buckle just releases and the child safety seat that is in that car seat is not restrained at all. *tr

    2000 toyota sienna. The passenger seat belt sensor suddenly started working backwards. The warning light is off when the seat belt is buckled and comes on when the seat belt is unbuckled, including when the passenger seat is vacant. Dealer says it will cost about $350 to replace the belt and that it is a safety issue because the faulty sensor is also linked to the air bag, which may not deploy properly in an…

    Seat Belts

    I have had a problem with the front seat belts in my sienna for some time now. The warning indicator never goes off although the seat belt is on. This is for both the driver and front passenger. I have taken it to toyota at least four times and have been told it is a very costly repair. At least $500 per belt. When i asked if it was safe to keep it in the current condition, i was told by toyota to carry a pair of…

    Seat Belts

    Three shoulder strap seat belts in my 2000 toyota sienna have failed. They are frozen and inoperable. The dealer says he will replace at $200 per seatbelt. Other than that there is nothing he can do to repair the seatbelt. The vehicle is useless without seatbelts. I am afraid that the other 3 will fail also. *ak

    Seat Belts

    I have a 2000 toyota sienna in which seat belts lock with little movement after being retracted from the car wall (i do not know why it is designed this way, and had been bothered by the design well before what i report here). One day my 6 year old daughter moved around while under the seat belt and was entangled in it. She kept trying to get herself out, but the belt would only move a few millimeters into the wall,…
