2005 TOYOTA SIENNA — Complaint #664647
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about CHILD SEAT:LATCH CONNECTOR/CLIP filed April 7, 2008
NHTSA complaint #664647 (ODI reference 10223556) concerns a 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA and was filed on April 7, 2008. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 6, 2008. The report was geocoded to New York based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as child seat:latch connector/clip, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same TOYOTA SIENNA cohort independently describe similar child seat:latch connector/clip failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

THIS ASSEMBLY PREVENTS THE LATCH BELT FROM BEING FULLY TIGHTENED ON ONE SIDE AND IN TURN PREVENTS THE SEAT FROM BEING PROPERLY INSTALLED. 2) LATCH BUCKLE SIZE PREVENTS LATCH BELT FROM BEING TIGHTENED AND LEADS TO BINDING OF THE LATCH BELT AS IT IS TIGHTENED. THIS PREVENTS FULL SECURING OF THE SEAT. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2005, MAKE=TOYOTA, MODEL=SIENNA). *TR
