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.
The contact stated the latch system was defective. He took the car to a certified inspection station in his city on 11-02-05 to have the safety seat inspected and turned to face forward. They told him they would not turn the safety seat because the latch system in the vehicle would not work properly with a forward facing child seat. The clip between the seats was facing forward, instead of vertical, causing the seat belt to get twisted and bunched up. This caused the safety seat to lurch forward when installed in a forward facing position. The latch system will allow proper installation of a rear facing infant seat. 11/15/05.
