| Description of the problem | The nissan rogue 2017 (no third seat) latch system is not acceptable. The lower anchors are buried and so tightly encased that it was incredibly difficult to install our child seats. If there were a collision and the seats needed to be extracted quickly, i have no doubt that they would need to be cut out due to the lower anchor positions and encasement. I'm a fairly strong, grown woman, and i could barely feel the lower anchors, let alone install the child seat. I have quickly installed car seats in a toyota prius, nissan versa, honda odyssy, nissan maxima, nissan altima, and other rented vehicles. This latch system was by far, the most difficult and inaccessible. Please look into this vehicle and it's lower anchors. Note: our nissan versa is currently in storage awaiting a takata airbag replacement (the second one). While we wait, we are participating in nissan's free vehicle loaner program, requiring us to change vehicles every 2-3 months. As a result, we are having to reinstall our child seats each time. No incident has occurred yet, but we are having extreme difficulty in installing our child seats in the nissan rogue. |
