When attempting to install my forward facing car seat using latch, i've not been able to locate the hook for the top tether, that should be located behind each of my 2nd row seats. Despite checking the manufacturers manual, i was merely able to locate what felt like a hook that is completely covered by fabric.

In addition, it is almost impossible to get out of the seatbelt when stopping driving because it is stuck in the latch. This combination of self-release, non-latching, and…

Our toyota sienna has 2 seat belts that will no longer function properly. We contacted toyota (case# 1609160545) toyota refuses to stand behind this safety related failure. This is our families main transportation and we keep it maintained. However, this is not a maintenance issue.

The front driver's seat belt became jammed and could not be released. I was 3 miles away from home and, after struggling for a while, had to drive home without wearing a seatbelt. We had to take apart the interior panel to fix the seatbelt. I have googled and apparently this is a common problem for the sienna. *tr

The driver side seat belt folds up on itself and won't release or retract. This is not the first time it's happened. Took it to the dealership on both occasions and was advised to not "yank the belt hard." pillar cover was removed and seat belt was found to be "all twisted inside." it was "adjusted to normal operation;" however, it cost me $108 to get it fixed. I have never had this happen in any other car i have…
