The front passenger seat belt has a tendency to jam whenever put on in a certain way. I have found a way to almost consistently repeat it and have found that it tends to happen with passengers of greater girth or stature. Definitely more likely to happen when the passenger pulls the seatbelt out forward towards the dashboard to put it on. What happens is the belt folds over due to the design of the pivot area and…

The driver's seat belt continuously binds up in the re-tractor bezel. Because of this the re-tractor unit does not function properly. Some times if you do get it to come out, you can get it latched but the belt fails to tighten. In other cases it binds so badly that the side wall must be taken apart to free it. *tr

The boy on the passenger side pulled the middle seat belt down from the ceiling and wrapped around his neck twice and then put the buckle in the lap clasp. I was driving and had the radio on. Luckily my 14 year old daughter noticed him struggling and began screaming, "he's choking, he's choking"; she immediately jumped over the seat and tried to free…

Both front seatbelts in our 2004 toyota sienna have repeatedly jammed in the plastic bezel when retracted or extended, rendering them useless. With considerable effort the seatbelts have been loosened, however, they are now twisted inside. Having done a quick search online, this appears to be an ongoing source of frustration and hazard for a number of van owners. *tr

Seat belt twists and jams extremely easily. Extends all the way, and will not retract. Sometimes it can be manipulated to straighten it and get it to retract, but it recurs regularly. The front passenger seat is not usable when it happens. It has happened once or twice on driver's side, but occurs at least once or twice a month on passenger side. *tr

Front passenger seat belt folds over on itself when pulled to engage. This prohibits the use of the seatbelt. Does not happen every time but probably occurs 15 to 20 times a year. When it jams if the occupant does not know how to correct the problem they ride with no seatbelt protection. Toyota washes their hands and states that it is out of warranty. *tr

Right side second row seat belt fails every 2000 to 3000 miles. Encasement is located on the seat itself instead of the roof of the vehicle.
