Front Seat Belt Buckle Assembly Problems of Toyota Sienna

: the contact stated the front driver seatbelt buckle did not stay latched. The release button on the seatbelt was depressed a couple times, and then the buckle latched. After this incident, the seatbelt no longer stayed latched at all. There was an audible click when the buckle was forcefully latched into place. Also, the contact stated that there was difficulties releasing the buckle after the first incident. The buckle was free of dirt and other contaminants. There were no pictures of repair invoices available. The dealer was contacted, who determined that the component was not under any recall.

The driver's seat belt buckle receiver stopped working. According to the dealers service manager, a small plastic tab (he called it a "spacer") in the buckle receiver broke off and prevented the buckle from latching. I note that a similar problem on the 2001 Ford escape was the subject of a voluntary recall (NHTSA campaign id number: 03v507000).

The center rear seat beltappears very unsafe. When locked in place, my children can easily loosen the belt with just the touch of their fingers. The belt does not come out of the lock, but it moves the tightness and the kids are sitting without any restraint. They are able to get up and move around! I took it to the local dealer (maroone Toyota 4050 weston road-invoice #tocs317153) on 7/9/01. I was told that that is just how it is designed and there is nothing wrong. When I argued how unsafe it was, I was told maybe I should not put young children in that seat. How can this be??? all of my seats need to be utilized with my large family and my kids friends. Please tell me if you have gotten any other complaints on this. Thanks.
