CarComplaints.com Notes: Toyota says the 2015 Sienna has been redesigned with "more swagger." Let's hope it's also been redesigned with less seat noise.

Seat belt will not retract. No accident/collission. It seems the seat belt is defected and dealer refuses to correct, stating seat belt is out of warranty. My child pulled the seat belt to put it on and it just simply did not retract.
3 issue with 5tdkk3dc2fs[xxx] Toyota Sienna 2015 le van - seat belt - 2nd row driver side seat belt cannot be wear. Cannot wear seat belt as the red part that fastens the seat belt clip does not work. Unable to fasten seat belt in the 2nd row seat behind driver. 2* at 30,000 miles with proper careful driving brake lights turn on in rain - all the lights start to flash in dashboard.- front driver side bumber where it meets the fender does not hold bumper properly. The clips that hold bumper are not made properly. I have seen at least 4 Toyota Sienna with same issues at different places of same model / design. When push back to fix the number it stays and after short 5-10 miles drive it comes back loose again. So I have to keep pushing the bumper back. I have the van for over a year now. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
The rear most driver side seat belt was severely damaged by a steel bracket that holds the center seat/ middle seat on the 8 passenger model. This bracket is located behind the plastic covers. The steel bracket is razor sharp. The seat belt was severely cut. We can send pictures. The seat belt has been replaced by us. But other owners need to be made aware of this design flaw. Thanks.
Shoulder straps of passenger mid-section seats have lost tension and do not reliably retract, possibly due to extended car seat installation (britax pinnacle clicktight, was installed for prolonged period in harness mode). Lack of shoulder strap tension is a severe hazard as I attempted to convert britax pinnacle clicktight to booster mode but found that child could loosen their shoulder strap and be sitting in booster mode seat with a loose shoulder strap that is not holding them tight and secure at the shoulder.
2nd row seat belts bind and generally do not retract, even when seat is occupied. They remain loose and flop around and do not "snug up" against the occupant as every other seat belt does. Dealer says "all the Sienna's do that" because it's such a long belt - in fact he replaced the belt and the replacement does the same thing. This seems like a safety hazard since in the case of a wreck I worry that the seat belt may not retract correctly to restrain the occupant, or even if it retracts it may not be positioned correctly. Mostly the 2nd row belts are very loose and flop around unless an adult makes a conscious effort to slowly and very carefully feed the back into the reel.
