Child Seat problem #1

I have a recaro performance seat. I purchased this seat about 4-5 mo. Ago so its fairly new. The issue that im heaving is the adjuster lever( witch is the release located between child's legs) has a notch on the side to support the spring. This notch ( which is by design not a defect) is catching the strap and once the child is secure it is difficult to release. Its equivalent of a wrechering strap folding or twisting over wile tightening. Also once I do manage to get it to realize I did notice that the strap is being flailed by this notch. It doesn't happened all the time witch makes it worse, because sometimes its just the very corner, of the strap, that gets pinched. It really makes u question in an accident im I going to be able to get my kid out? I contacted the manufacture their reply was to pull the strap opposite to the notch. This should solve my problem. I have two kids, two cars and four child safety seats, this is the first time I encountered this type of problem. It is laughable that recaro would treat it this way.

Child Seat problem #2

When making a left-hand turn into a school parking lot, at normal turning speeds with no excessive acceleration or movement, without warning the carseat's lower left anchor disconnected from the metal bar on the back seat and fell to the right, with my son in it. I see no damage or defect on the latch itself; nor do I see anything wrong with the metal bar installed on the seat. I had trouble getting the lower left anchor to extend when I went to re-install the seat. Note: the carseat in question is an evenflo symphony 65, model #3121881, manufactured 01/19/2009. You do not list this model on your dropdown list for evenflo. (related vehicle information: model year=2009, make=Chevrolet, model=traverse lt).
