Consumer Description

THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELT LATCHED AND, UPON ARRIVAL AT DESTINATION, WOULD NOT UNLATCH THEREFORE TRAPPING THE CHILD IN THE CAR. THE CHILD HAD TO EXTRICATE THEM SELF FROM THE LATCHED BELT TO BECOME FREE OF THE CAR. THE SEAT BELT IS STILL LATCHED AND WILL NOT RELEASE. I CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO FIX OR REPLACE THE BELT AT THEIR EXPENSE. IF I HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, THIS TYPE OF FAILURE COULD RESULT IN DEATH. THIS IS A SERIOUS MALFUNCTION TO THE ORIGINALLY INSTALLED SAFETY EQUIPMENT. THE VEHICLE IS A 2005 SUZUKI XL7. *TR
