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.
While the vehicle was parked in a driveway, running but not yet in gear or in motion, 5 year old child secured in carseat in 2nd row moved the shoulder/lap seatbelt in such a way that it encircled his waist and would not allow any slack, cinching around the child's waist. The seatbelt retractor would only allow the seat belt to get tighter and would not release any slack. As bystanders attempted to free the child, the seat belt continued to get tighter and tighter. This resulted in the child being limited to taking shallow breaths. The child became very frightened and asked repeatedly if he was going to die. Bystanders had to find tools to remove the seatbelt from the frame of the car in order to free the child and allow him to breathe without constriction.
