“Right passenger seat has problems locking into place therefore when applying brakes seat rolls forward. 10 year old son head hit the windshield due to the seat not locking... Also the right front passenger seat belt constricts and the seat belt has to be unbuckle and reset by the passenger .. Due to these defects my child head was slammed into the windshield of the vehicle.”

The dealer said that this body style does not do that. The owners manual states that it does and that it must in order to put in a child restraining seat. I know that it used to do lock because I have owned the car since sept 1999 and have had training classes on how to install child restraining seats in correctly. …”
