One problem related to child seat tether strap has been reported for the 2000 Mitsubishi Lancer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The adjustor for the top tether cracked in half. Had to pay britax for a new one plus shipping. Then I found out that this is happening to others with marathons serial: e9w0672008780 model: e9w0672 batch: 507735 dom: 03/10/05 I think this may require a advisory recall. It is not right to make someone pay for a new strap for a piece that should have lasted the full 6 year life span of the seat! (related vehicle information: model year=1999, make=Mitsubishi, model=lancer).
