Child passenger, in the extended cab complained of the seat belt tightening. Belt would not release when unlocked, bruising shoulder/neck and abdomen area. Seat belt was cut with a knife. Sudden braking or impact was not the cause of the seat belt tension. Dealer was contacted and will replace unit. *ak consumer states that the seat belt was actually choking the child.

Vehicle was involved in an accident at a impact of 25 MPH. Seat belt failed to stay latched, and air bags failed to deploy. Vehicle at dealer shop for inspection. Can the federal safety agency help or provide additional information .

The rear seatbelts and latches do not anchor through the "slit" where the seatback and the seat cushion meet. The belts (and latches) come up through holes in the seat cushion itself. These holes are located foreward of the line where the seatback and seat cushion come together. As a result it is not possible to snug the child seat base against the back of the car seat. Even with the belt very tightly pulled the child seat moves several inches foreward at the base and rotates sideways. The installation instructions for all the car seats I have tried to fit in the vehicle specify that the belts must come through the slit where the seat cushion and back meet. Is a modification available to remidiate this problem and make the installation safe!! Thank you.
