Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Three days ago, my 7 year old daughter could not unbuckle her seat belt. It is the middle of the rear seat. I had to pull some slack on the seat belt in order for her to slip under and out of the belt. After that, the seat belt unbuckled. I had her sit down again in the same position and the same thing happened again. I tried it next and found that I could not unbuckle the seat belt either. I believe that this is a safety issue in the event of an accident, the person in the middle seat in the back will not be able to get out of the car easily. …”
