Seat Belts
The front seatbelts--especially the drivers' seatbelts often become stuck when extended. Sometimes the seatbelt cannot retract because it is twisted; more often the seatbelt will not retract. The result is that the it the occupant isn't (adequately) restrained. A temporary fix can often be accomplished by adjusting the shoulder height but this is time consuming and frustrating. *tr

Seat Belts
In cold weather the seat belt frequently folds over where it comes out of the side of the car. The seat belt then cannot be used as it is too thick to retract. It takes hours to fiddle with it to correct it. The dealer says they can disassemble it & untwist it, but they cannot stop it from happening. *tr

All the seat belts repeatedly get twisted inside the retractor guide on the door posts. This makes it impossible for the seat belt to retract or pull out for use. We've taken it back to toyota and were told it is our responsibility to get this fixed. However this seems to be a problem in many toyotas. This is definitely a safety issue that toyota needs to and should address. *tr

The front passenger side seat belt in our 2005 toyota mini van frequently jams, because it creases both when it is deployed and retracted. It is very difficult to unfold the crease. As a result, the passenger cannot use the seatbelt until a person with very strong fingers helps correct the problem. We have taken the van to our local chrysler dealer who informs us that the seatbelt recall was for back seat belts only…

The driver side seat belt jams when pulled down and can not fasten the seat belt. The jam is difficult to correct, and as time goes by it happens more. It is now happening as much as twice a week. When the belt jams, we must drive home without the seat belt. This is illegal in florida, dangerous, and makes us liable for a ticket and fine. There should be a recall to repair the problem. *tr

My front passenger seat belt repeatedly jams due to the seat belt folding over on itself. I have researched this issue and have noticed that many toyota sienna owners are complaining of the same thing. When i asked my dealership about this issue, they said there were no recalls on this item, therefore, they would charge me $400 to fix it. At this point, it's jamming every week and the seat belt is unusable at this…

I have precisely the same complaint as you have been investigating and that toyota has already (apparently) successfully escaped criticism for in pe05008. In april 2005, i alerted my dealer to the fact that the lap belt harness clip in the rh 2nd-row seat of my 2005 7-passenger sienna always caught or jammed the belt at the separation point of the holder whenever a passenger was seated there. When an adult noticed…
