“Rear passenger seatbelt behind driver's seat detached from the vehicle. My daughter was riding in the seat with the seatbelt fastened and it suddenly releases. She thought it had become unbuckled somehow, but it actually it had separated from the vehicle where it should have been bolted into place. There were no warning signs if impending failure. My daughter's life was put at risk if there had been an accident or I had to stop abrubtly. The vehicle is in for repairs now. I am having them inspect all seat belts in the vehicle. …”
