Consumer Description

MY CHILDREN WERE TRYING TO GET TO THE THIRD ROW SEAT AND PULLED ON THE LATCH OF THE SEAT ON THE SECOND ROW AND THE SEAT RAPIDLY SNAPPED DOWN AND OUT CRUSHING MY LITTLE ONE. SINCE THAT INCIDENT MY CHILDREN WERE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT USING THE HANDLE TO BRING THE SEAT DOWN. I HAVE HAD OTHER PEOPLE RIDE IN MY CAR THAT DO NOT KNOW HOW FAST AND DANGEROUS THESE SEATS SNAP DOWN AND OUT THAT HAVE BEEN HIT BY THE SEATS ON MY OCCASIONS. WE CALL IT THE "JAWS OF DEATH" BUT THIS IS NOT A LAUGHING MATTER. I DID WRITE TO TOYOTA ABOUT THIS BUT NEVER EVEN RECEIVED A RESPONSE. THE OTHER PROBLEM WE'VE HAD HAS BEEN WITH THE SLIDING DOORS. THEY KEEP BREAKING AND NOT CLOSING PROPERLY. *TR
