Our database contains 3 NHTSA owner-reported complaints for the 2001 Toyota Previa, most frequently naming the brakes, seat belts and suspension categories. 20 manufacturer communications are on file.

When owners filed reports about this model year
Not enough dated records to plot a meaningful trend — 3 months of data.
Complaints grouped by the component NHTSA recorded
Percentages are of component mentions. A single complaint can name more than one component, so these do not sum to the total complaint count.
No recalls in our database for this model year
That does not guarantee a specific vehicle is unaffected — recalls are issued against VINs, and new campaigns are announced regularly. Check a VIN on NHTSA.gov.

WHO COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE BELT AGAIN, AS THEY DEEMED IT FUNCTIONING. THE BELT LOCKED AGAIN ON MY CHILD AND I DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SHOW THEM THE PROBLEM, WHICH THEY AGREED WAS A PROBLEM.
