Seat belt anchor and attachment bolt separated from the vehicle. The dealer has been notified.
I believe there to be a defect in the positioning of the seat belt mounts in the second row seats (seats directly behind driver's seats). The mounts are placed too high on the frame to allow proper installation of child car seats like the evenflow on my way base and the gerry brand booster seat. It is not possible to obtain a snug tie down to prevent lateral movement of the child seats.
