“I was recently installing my britax regent as directed. And used the carseat belt for my daughter who is now about 55 lbs. While installing I saw how if we were in an accident the gen 3 seat belt acceptor would fail when it made contact with her carseat. So my child would no longer be protected. In order to install her seat I had to twist the connector about 8-10 times to keep it as far away from the seat as possible. I twisted the connector until it could not twist any further. I am still do not want to have my child ride here but I have no other choice. …”

NHTSA complaint #10018829, filed 2003-05“My seat belts in this car are too easy to open. All it takes for an article of clothing to hit the button and it pops open. I have three young children riding in my car with me and the other day my daughter dropped her juice cup onto the latch when she fell asleep and it opened. I was unaware that it opened until my older daughter stated what had happened. I contacted the dealership and they said that there was no recall issused for the seatbelts, however I feel that this is a major safety issue. …”
