Front Seat Head Restraint Problems of Toyota Sienna

I don't have a quality issue. My problem is the headrests that have to meet NHTSA requirements. When I drive my car, the headrests kill my neck! I'm not even under a doctor's care, but I may have to be, if I keep this vehicle as long as I expect to. Please consider revising the headrest requirements. I think there may be an untold number of consumers with neck and spinal problems due to this mandate.

The headrests tilt so far forward that they cause neck pain, particularly on trips of longer than 15 minutes. They should not be so far forward that one's head is in contact with the headrest at all times, or if they do need to be that far forward, they should not be at such an angle as to press the head forward and down.

1) drivers seat causing severe pain on the left side of my back. Seat seems to be leaning to the left causing pressure on the left side of my ribcage. I can feel the side air bag location causing this. 2) first and second row headrests rise up without any manual intervention. Will not stay down in locked position.

I just purchased this car used an love it except for one thing: the head rest pushes my head forward when sitting upright. I have good posture and sit vertically and the headrest forces my head forward, causing neck pain. Reclining the seat makes it difficult to reach the steering wheel. I'm a female who is 5' 8" but with disproportionately long legs and a short torso. I cannot move the seat too far forward since it cramps my legs. An adjustable headrest angle would allow me to have the headrest protect me from whiplash in an accident without inducing discomfort every time I drive.

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Sienna. The contact stated that a two-year old child was secured in a child restraint by the vehicle seat belt system. The child was able to unlatch the seatbelt while sitting in the child seat. The contact believed that the design of the seat belts were unsafe to use in securing a child in the vehicle with a child seat. The contact consulted with the dealer about a seat belt cover to prevent the child from unlatching the seat belts, but the dealer advised that no such device existed. The failure and the current mileage was 123,000.

Driver's seat loose. I found a bolt (a shoulder bolt) on the floor of our 2005 Toyota Sienna. The car had approximately 48,000 miles on it at that time. The seat is loose and when the position is changed, forward or back, there is a grinding noise like the gears (it is electric seat) are not meshing. My concern is if I am in an accident the seat will come loose (as it movers around now) and I will take the force of the seat as well as my body if it comes loose. There is also the possibility that the seat will change position if there is an accident and I will not be restrained by the seatbelts properly because the seat shifted my position and in addition I will not get the full effect of the air bags and air curtains when they deploy. When I found the bolt I immediately took the car to the Toyota dealership and was told there was nothing they could do because it is out of warranty. I had never mentioned warranty the service writer brought it up. . I spoke with Toyota customer service after the dealership said there was nothing they could do and Toyota said the same thing. They suggested I buy a $125 repair manual if I wanted to fix it myself. I asked if they would send me a copy of the page that pertains to the seat and they said they would try. (I was subsequently told by another person in Toyota customer service that the person wrote that I had refused to buy the service manual. Apparently he just said he would look for the pages and e-mail them to me to get me off the line. His note certainly indicates he had no intention of helping me get copies of the pages from the repair manual. ) it is obvious there is either a design issue or flaw or the shoulder bolt was not assembled or torqued properly. Bolts do not simply fall out of their own accord. If this were not an important bolt Toyota would certainly not have gone to the expense of installing a hardened shoulder bolt as opposed to a regular bolt that is much less expensive.

There is no way to proper adjust headrest height for taller people (average male and above) on 2006 Toyota Sienna le cloth seats first and second row. Even the highest locking position is too low for me and my son. We are approximately 6 ft tall. Contacted Toyota and generally they said nothing could be done by them to help me.
