“This happened to one of my car pool buddies and I think should be of concern to everyone who drives a mercedes ML430 and uses dog restraints that clip to the seat belts. He has 2 large labrador retrievers, the dogs were in the rear of the car (seats folded down and a bed of luggage) the dogs were clipped to the rear seatbelts using one the many products available for this purpose. These are big active dogs. After about 4 hours driving he heard one of the seat belts retracting a few hours later the other one did the same thing. …”
