| Description of the problem | I have two non verbal autstic boys, i heard my son gasping i pulled over and the rear seat belt had retracted under his rib cage, i kicked out the booster seat and lifted him into my leg higher to attempt to pull the belt, he could not breath, it only got tighter and the tension was so tight the lap lock would not release, i called 911, they had no choice but to cut the belt. It only got tighter. The dealership guy checked the other belt and said it only locks also when it wants, and remember me complaining to him the day i bought it. At this time it's in shottenkirk at mount pleasant iowa i'm in a loaner, chrysler assigned a case manager and i've heard nothing, the sales guy said report it because chrysler will sweep it under the rug, my autistic child now has to be re taught to get back into a car, he is terrified, i did get him to his doctor. |
