| Description of the problem | This has occurred now at least 12 times in the last year. The middle row seats. After fastening the seat belts, they unbuckle. I had car seats with children buckled and all a sudden they tell me it came unbuckled while driving and i have to stop and lock it again. In fact one time it wouldnt lock again and had to put them in the back row. I tested it myself and buckled them and pulled slightly on them and they came unbuckled without pressing the unbuckle button. This is a seriously dangerous problem in an accident with children in car seats that the belts come undone. It just happened yesterday again. |
