What owners wrote
I, together with my family had a car accident that happened in stamford, ct. A car struck my van perpendicularly at the left rear wheel which caused it to spun 180 degrees. As the collision occurred my seatbelt suddenly unbuckled which resulted myself slamming on the side door and incurring multiple contusion. I filed a report to toyota motors about it, and they sent someone to look at it. According to their inspector there is no malfunction to my seatbelt.
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.
