Your third-row seats don't stay locked in their stowed position. During a sudden stop, they spring up rapidly and can hit people nearby or send loose items flying as projectiles. This is a safety hazard that needs immediate attention.

Your back seats don't stay locked in the folded position. When you go over bumps or rough terrain, the folded seats can suddenly flip back up on their own, which could injure pets or passengers nearby. The seats should have a secure locking mechanism to keep them safely in place when folded down. Fixing this will likely involve inspecting or replacing the seat latch mechanism and hinges.

Your third-row seats don't stay securely in their folded storage position and pop out suddenly when you brake hard or drive over bumps. This can be dangerous if pets or loose items are in the back, as they may become projectiles, and the sudden noise might make you think you've been rear-ended. The dealer confirmed this is how the seats are designed but offered no solution. A fix would likely involve inspecting or replacing the seat latch mechanism or storage well retention system to ensure seats stay locked in place.

When you hit a bump at 25 mph, the third row seats suddenly flew forward from their stowed (folded up) position with enough force to startle you and cause swerving.

The fix would involve installing or replacing the seat locking mechanism that older Sienna models have.

seat retractor failure- white plastic part off and visible , seat is making popping noise when seat is being adjusted. Noticed this when I picked up from dealer after oil change. I feel this is a driving safety concern.
