I had not received a response as oo 4/3/18 when I called to inquire. Note: although we've had the car for 4 years, we've not noticed this problem because we've always buckled. …”
NHTSA complaint #11083131, filed 2018-04, 52,000 miles“I have 2 convertible car seats in the back seat of my Sorento. One car seat is behind the driver and one behind the passenger seat, both are rear facing. They are secured using the seat belts, not latch, due to weight limits per the car seat manual. The seatbelts securing the car seats have been releasing on their own while driving, both while my children were in their car seats and without my children. Most recently, I was making a left turn from a stop at a stop light when I heard one of the car seats sliding on the seat of the car. I immediately pulled over to buckle the seat back in. …”
