“Takata recall - my car was involved in an accident, in motion, on a city street. My air bag did not deploy. My seat belt did not hold me. I took a hit to the head, having to have stiches, along with both eyes turning black/blue.”
NHTSA complaint #10816988, filed 2015-12, 43,000 miles“When installing a child booster seat in the rear seat of our 2011 chevy Cruze the booster seat completely covers the safety belt latch making it impossible to latch the belt. This applies to both the right and left sides of the car. When I contacted the dealer they stated that this was a known problem with no alternative to correct the issue. The only way to latch the safety belt is to fasten it into the incorrect latch. This in my opinion creates a major safety issue.”

Rear seat belt buckles become non-functional and won't fasten, posing a safety hazard and making the rear seats unusable for passengers.”
