| Child Seat Tether Strap problems |
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).
Was in a 45 mph rear end collision. Air bags did not deploy, back seat passenger seat belt and tether clip failed. Sons car seat hit the back of passenger seat, luckily I had already dropped in off at day care.
