Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We are owners of a 2001 Lincoln Continental. My two young boys ages 2 and 4 were in their car seats on both sides of the rear seat, leaving the middle seat belt unused. My four year old had called me for help while I was driving over a bridge. I saw he was noosed around his neck by the middle belt and pinned against the rear of the seat. The car has an automated locking position for safety . This turns out to be a danger. The belt would not release leaving me to have to run for help on the highway. I found a man who could help cut the belt and release my son. …”
