The contact owns a 2005 Ford forrester. She is renting this van, and while she was bending down in the middle seat in the middle row she almost got her head crushed when she moved the latch. The back support came tumbling down and her head got caught in between. This could be considered a safety hazard because there was so much force, and if someone was playing with the latch, a whoever was in the next seat would be hurt. Contact was going to return the van to the rental place.
