“Two seatbelts, both for the middle row bucket seats, failed. They both stopped retracting properly and had to be replaced. Luckily, we were not involved in an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11078420, filed 2018-03, 125,000 miles“The drivers seat belt sometime does not retract. One of the seat belts in the middle row retracts slowly or sometimes does not retract. Another seatbelt is very tough to pull out to buckle. I just purchased this vehicle so I’m not sure how long the seatbelts have been an issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11576476, filed 2024-03“I have been having a problem with the seatbelts on this Sequoia for many years and I have had to go into the dealership several times to get help with stuck seatbelts, seatbelts that didn’t retract and seatbelts that weren’t tight enough. I was told after a service visit that Toyota approved a rear middle row seatbelt replacement, but started having other mechanical issues and never scheduled the repair. After getting help for the last time I instructed my kids to be very gentle with the seatbelts and that seemed to help for a long time. …”
NHTSA complaint #11765074, filed 2026-09“The seats belt on my 2008 Toyota Sequoia stopped latching. They are located in the middle rear section of the car. Two of the three stopped working within a week of each other. I am at the dealer (eastern shore Toyota) now and they will only replace the one not latching. The other one has an intermittent issue with latching and has come unlatched before with my child in a booster seat. Why Toyota doesn't fix this today is beyond me. I guess they are o.k. With it coming unlatched. After all it's not their kid in the back seat. …”
