| Component | SEAT BELTS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Both front seat belts fail to retract, remaining much too loose to provide safety to passenger. I have been able to fool with the mechanism in various ways and get the seatbelt working again until today -- 3-28-14. Driver's side is fully extended, folded over, and there is no way to get it unfolded and reactivate the retracting now that it is fully extended. I have actually been fussing with this on and off for a couple of years, but in the last month it is constant. I looked for a solution online and discovered it is a very common problem for sienna owners. All agree that once the belt is all the way out, it cannot be fiddled with enough to fix it. |
