Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My three year old son can pull the seat belt from his body while he is sitting in his booster seat. The seat belt will not lock and thus there is no way to keep him in the seat if he wants to get out. Our van and other cars have locking seat belts which make it impossible for him to pull the belt away from his body. We have used other car seats with a harness but he is getting too big to use that type of seat any more.”

The vehicle was taken to the dealership, and they stated the buckle assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle has not been repaired at this time due to repairs being too expensive .”
