Seat Belts
Middle row and back row seat belts do not retract and get stuck. The rear belts get stuck and do not come out or retract. This is especially a problem with children as they think the seat belt is deployed properly when it is not. This happened this morning, but also happens a few times a month and seems to be getting worse.

My power door stop working on the driver back side. I had to force its close. And now i can't get it to open back up. The back row belt won't pull down. So its can't be used now. And the fuel miles on this van is very poor at 11. Toyota is very high price when its come to little problems.

Driver seatbelt on 2006 toyota sienna minivan does not retract. This is a safety issue due to toyota's design defect. The same issue is faced by numerous others as evidenced by the fact that toyota has issued a recall for this problem in other types of vehicles that use the same parts - e.g. Suvs, cars etc the current recall should be extended to toyota sienna minivans too given the safety implications. *tr

Last sunday as we were leaving for church my seven year old daughter sat in her safety car seat, reached for her seat belt and pulled it across her chest to fasten it. As she did so, it snapped in half. As a parent, i watched the incident in horror. I am so very grateful that we weren't in an accident where her life depended on the security of her belt. It appears as though somehow it was rubbed raw from the plastic…

Last week, the airbag warning light started flashing constantly while the car is running. A quick read of the owner's manual indicates a problem with the side or curtain airbags. More research on the internet indicates that this is a common problem with siennas from 2006. This is a safety issue, and should be addressed by toyota on a wide scale basis. My car is like new, not used much, never been in an accident and…

Seat Belts
The driver-side seat belt gets jammed during retraction and becomes inoperable. The result is that the driver may continue driving without protection until the belt can be unjammed. This problem occurs repeatedly and it is very difficult to resolve, sometimes requiring an expensive visit to the dealer. Parts replacement is unlikely to resolve the problem since it seems to be a system issue.

I still have not been able to get it loose. *tr

We discovered that the second row passenger seat belt (built into the seat) did not ever engage. It latched with no issues but would not catch when appropriate. As our young child typically uses the seat, we did not know how long it had been inoperable before a fortuitous use by an adult. We took it to the dealership where they replaced the seat belt assembly at our cost. *tr

One day i found that the seatbelt had torn in half in the rear folding seat. I suspect that a couple of weeks earlier it had gotten caught in the mechanics of the folding seat. The folding seat had gotten stuck for some reason and needed a lot of force to open it back up. Maybe it got a small tear then which grew. I don't know. Regardless, one day i found it completely torn in two and unusable in the rear drivers…
