This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
When attempting to install my forward facing car seat using latch, I've not been able to locate the hook for the top tether, that should be located behind each of my 2nd row seats. Despite checking the manufacturers manual, I was merely able to locate what felt like a hook that is completely covered by fabric. Not knowing any better, I mistakenly hooked the tether strap to another hook that was located behind the seat. In completing a cpst course, I've learned that this practice could have significantly injured or killed my child if we had been involved in a wreck. My cpst instructors agreed with my suspicion that there is a defect in the construction of these seats, and that the tether bar should not be completely covered by fabric. My fear is that other families with this vehicle are putting their children at risk of injury or death because they aren't utilizing the top tether simply because they can't access the bar for it.
Air bag light started blinking when car started and stayed blinking. Brought in to dealer and comments were "open in side. Squib rh circuit" and "needs pass. Side front seat airbag" for $865. Same issue seems true for 2007 Siennas online. Light stopped blinking and has not recurred.
