Driver's seat belt jams where it comes out of the seatbelt guide assembly causing excess slack in the seat belt so that it is inoperable. I have only been able to uncanny it once and have had to drive it to the dealership without seat belt protection to have them unjam it. They somehow yank it loose but we have only been able to do this once (today). It is starting to jam almost every time its used now and despite being very careful, it has completely jammed 5 times now. It is a 2004 Toyota Sienna limited minivan.

Driver seat belt fails to retract as the strap gets caught in the opening where it retracts. It did this on rare occasion under warranty but now does it constantly. There fore the seat belt is very loose and does not restrain the occupant. The rear belts were recalled for this type of defect and were working fine at the time of the recall. This problem has been ignored by the dealer under warranty and now they simply work it free when we bring it in, despite us telling them that it recurs daily.

For reasons unknown to me, the drivers side seat belt on my 2000 Toyota Sienna is twisted all the way into the assembly. It doesn't retract properly or lock to restrain the driver, and the warning light stays on even when the seat belt is buckled. I was shocked to find out that such an important safety measure is only covered by Toyota for 5 years/60k miles, while others like Honda have lifetime coverage. I believe that there may be similar incidents like this out there and I am concerned about the safety issue.
