NHTSA complaint #10515389, filed 2013-06, 90,000 miles“I had a car seat installed in the rear center seat with the latch attached. One day when I took the car seat out, I noticed that the plastic bar across the belt buckle had cracked. This is the piece that cinches the belt tight, therefore the belt would no longer tighten down to hold the car seat. I have no idea how long this had been broken, since I had the latch in place. I moved the car seat to another seat and had the dealership replaced the center seat belt. The seat belt where I moved the car seat to broke. I then had another car seat in the center rear and that one broke. …”
