Contact stated that both rear seat belts were not properly working. When the consumer tried to use the seat belts they will not extract enough to attach to the buckle. Consumer had an appointment with dealer on Tuesday to have the vehicle serviced. T consume never had to use the rear seat belts until recently. Therefore, she did not know if there were prior problems with the rear seat belts. Upon inspection underneath the seats there was no additional lap webbing connected to the seat belt.

In models with 2nd row bucket seats, a standard child seat (for 20-40 pounds) can not be safely secured. The plastic stop button on the belt that keeps the buckle from falling to the floor when not in use, also prevents your from drawing the seat belt tight enough to tighten the car seat down properly. When the belt is drawn as tight as it can be, you can still easily move the car seat around. The seat and belt will allow you to tighten the larger booster seats in place, but they are not for children in the 20-40 pound range. I tried this with all 3 seats that I own, and I went to a retailer and measured a number of other seats. It seems that most of them measure approximately 7. 5 inches from the base to the belt hole, but you need at least 9. 5 inches (approximately) in height to raise the car seat high enough for the seat belt to securely tighten it in.
