 Description of the problemI have precisely the same complaint as you have been investigating and that toyota has already (apparently) successfully escaped criticism for in pe05008. In april 2005, i alerted my dealer to the fact that the lap belt harness clip in the rh 2nd-row seat of my 2005 7-passenger sienna always caught or jammed the belt at the separation point of the holder whenever a passenger was seated there. When an adult noticed it and tried to retract the belt manually, it would sometimes retract but on other occasions pull the clip apart. I explained that i am most concerned when either a young person rides there without being aware of the problem or its significance or when even an adult rides there and has not become aware (in the event of an accident at precisely that point). The service manager indicated he had never heard of that problem nor had a similar complaint (something i now find very hard to believe). A promise was made the the toyota field rep would call in a few days. Rather, in a few weeks, only after i complained to toyota, i heard from amy schwartz who indicated she recorded my complaint but that toyota would not be taking any further action with regard to the complaint. Not once did she indicate there had been a case opened already. Please pursue this and get toyota's attention before there is a serious injury or fatality. It is very obvious to me that a simple fix, as i have applied to my own clip, would suffice from strictly a safety standpoint, but it would seem that toyota should come up with a more elagant and permanent solution. I simply glued the clip closed and put a 2-inch wide and 5 inch long strip of smooth packaging tape over the fron of the clip (covering the division or split point), thereby removing any point where the belt could catch.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

    Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
