This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
In the built-in carseats for children, the seat belt that latches across the chest area is able to be pulled apart with your hands. In fact, my daughter, who was 4 years at the time, just stretched and the seat belt popped open with her chest. We recently went car shopping and pulled on other built-in car seat seatbelts and they too were easily pulled apart with our hands.
When our son was young enough to use the built in car seat we noticed that he could open the plastic chest clasp by leaning forward hard enough. Does this seem normal functioning to you? although our children are too old for the car seats now we were wondering if this poses a safety problem for other families.
