Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I am trying to install car seats for both my children in my 1996 Oldsmobile lss and there are no anchor points installed for the tether strap, thus making the child seat useless. The owner's manual states that if no anchor points are installed in the vehicle to call your local dealer and have them installed in the locations shown in the manual. The local GM dealer says that they do not have anchor points and will not install them. They are telling me to go to the car seat manufacturer to get the anchor points. The child seat manufacturer (britax) does not make them. …”
