2008 Toyota Highlander. Attorney representing consumer writes in regards to seat belt malfunction and requests an investigation and reimbursement. As the consumer was driving on the highway, her son was secured in his car seat, playing quietly with the attached seat belt. At the point, the seat belt wrapped around his neck. The consumer pulled over and attempted to free her son from choking, she was unable to do so, although loosening the belt sufficiently allowed him to breath. First responders had difficulty removing the belt, finally they had to cut the seat belt to permit her son to be taken out of the seat.
