What owners wrote

“Open recall with no anticipated date of being fixed. The second row seats are unsafe for passengers which makes the vehicle unusable for a family.”

Filed Jan 23, 2026

“They stated the second row is not safe in a high speed collision because they could eject. I’ve been using a rental for 3 months with no end insight. They stated they would have a timeline by 12/6 but that has yet to happen. My car is sitting at the dealership out in the elements for the unforeseeable future.”

Filed Jan 16, 2026

“Relatively new Toyota Sienna, bought 6 weeks ago and currently at 1300 miles. Passenger side 2nd row seat belt inexplicably became stuck and would not retract, making that seat unusable as the seat belt was no longer able to safely restrain a passenger. No accidents or unusual incidents were noted. This was completely unexpected and random following a routine short-distance errand.”

Filed Dec 30, 2025 · 1,300 miles

“The seats have had an excessive rattling noise since buying the car, dealer was informed and was told that it was expected. Now there has been a safety recall with no remedy in sight for over two months. Not being able to use the middle seats on a brand new car for this long is unnacceptable.”

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 0 of 214 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.

File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation.
