NHTSA Complaint #11462919 — 2015 KIA SEDONA

The passenger side second row outside seat is not latching into place appropriately and thus slides forward and back in the track upon breaking or accelerating. We did not know it became faulty until my 5 year old was seated while driving and upon vehicle breaking his chair flew forward in the track and jolted him. He nearly face planted into the front seat, and if we were driving any faster and needed to suddenly stop for something to avoid collision, or god forbid, been in an accident, I have no doubt he would have been. My husband has been attempting to find the exact reason but he can’t tell yet if it is some sort of spring mechanism failure or if there is another explanation. That seat is 100% not safe for use until it is fixed and continues to slide back and forth in the track whether or not it is occupied. The issue is available for inspection upon request, however my husband has to take the track off in order to remove the chair so it isn’t flying all over when driving.
