2025 Toyota Sienna Hybrid

We purchased a brand-new Toyota Sienna Hybrid in April 2025 and were informed in October 2025 that there was a safety recall on the vehicle involving the rear seats and that we cannot drive the van with our kids in the back seat. This rendered the van unusable for us. We have been told on several occasions that that there currently is no remedy for this safety issue.

Unresolved recall for second row seats in a MINIVAN that has to transport small children in car seats. Using the seats will put them at risk. Using third row is inconvenient. Keeping van on dealer lot for months on end will be bad for battery, etc. No timeline for repair. The reason we purchased the vehicle is unusable and a major safety concern.

Toyota issued a recall due to suspected second row seat welds failing in a crash in October 7, 2025 and has not offered a remedy. The suggestion of not having anyone sit in the second row for over four months now is absurd and warrants investigation. The customers who purchase vans do so due to needing the space to occupy 5+ passengers and are not able to have all passengers sit in the third row putting passengers at risk daily without a solution. This is complete negligence by the company.

I am the owner of a 2025 Toyota Sienna currently grounded at an authorized dealership due to safety recall NHTSA #25V668 (improperly welded 2nd-row seat rails) and I suspect NHTSA #25V099 (3rd-row seat back bolts) also may apply (but has not been tested). As of today, the vehicle has been out of service for nearly 60 consecutive days. The dealer confirmed the defects but stated that no remedy is available and no timeline for repair has been provided by the manufacturer. This defect poses an extreme safety risk. I have an infant in a car seat; Toyota’s interim guidance (which prohibits use of the 2nd row) makes it impossible to safely transport my child. Using the 3rd row is not a viable or safe alternative for an infant in a rear-facing seat. Toyota has failed to provide a remedy within a "reasonable time" per 49 U.S.C. § 30120. Under California’s Song-Beverly Act, the 30-day "out of service" threshold has been exceeded. Because the manufacturer cannot fulfill its warranty and safety obligations, I am formally seeking a vehicle replacement (Substitution of Collateral).

Improper welds on second-row seat rails... We purchased a brand new 2025 Sienna, as we have three small children in car seats, and the minivan is convenient. I used the 2nd row for 2 of the car seats. I have contacted all of the Toyota dealerships within an hour of our house, and they either don't offer service rentals for recalls, don't have anything suitable available, don't have rentals at all, or don't return messages left inquiring about rentals. I spoke with Toyota customer care last week (Feb. 2, 2026) and they had no update on a fix or timeline, and this has been going on since October 2025. This is the 2nd Toyota we have had in 3 years, and both have had recalls. I am disappointed in Toyota, not as reliable as they claim, I guess.
