Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I have a complaint regarding booster seats and the inability to properly secure my 50 lb four year old. She is too big for a 5 point harness car seat (40 lbs) and there are no shoulder belts in my 1986 Suburban to use a high back booster seat. I can not comply with the new california law and as a low income family we cannot afford a new Suburban for our 5 children! What are we supposed to do????”

NHTSA complaint #756513, filed 2002-01

“The tires were purchased new. They have 30,000 miles on them. In the recent months one of the them has developed a bulge in the tread. Another is out of round and there is an awful bounce at 45 MPH. There is left a lot of tread and shows no real signs of wear. I am worried about tread seperation. (DOT number: vdor1wt145 tiresize: 235 85rx16)”
