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.
My Agency operates 7D vehicles that Transport young children. The seats in which we must place rear-facing infant car seats do not allow us to properly secure the car seat. There is one tether installed on the back of the seat and 2 installed where the cushions meet. The strap that is supposed to clip to the tether on the back of the seat is too short for rear facing car seats. The car seat can be secured using the side tethers, but the inability to secure to the rear tether results in the car seat moving forward & backward. If there were a front-on collision, the infant's head would thrust forward. I am not sure if this is a problem with the vehicle design or the car seat.
