Consumer Description

2ND ROW, TWO SEAT BENCH. I WAS VACUUMING THE CAR. I FOLDED THE BENCH DOWN TO VACUUM UNDER IT AND WHEN I TRIED TO RETURN IT TO THE UP POSITION THE SEAT WOULD NOT UNFOLD. I REALIZED THE SEAT BELT WAS LOCKED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT FIXED THINKING ITS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WOULD BE FREE OF CHARGE, BUT IT WASN'T FREE. THEY FIXED IT FOR FREE AFTER DEBATING WITH THEM ABOUT THIS ISSUE. NOW ITS 11.14.2011 AND THE SEAT BELT IS LOCKED AGAIN WITH THE CHAIR IN DOWN POSITION. *TR
