Consumer Description

THE LOCKING MODE THAT KEEPS THE SEAT BELT TAUT WHEN INSTALLING A CHILDS CAR SEAT STOPPED WORKING. IT IS ACTIVATED BY PULLING THE SEAT BELT ALL THE WAY OUT, AND THEN LETTING IT RETRACT. THIS KEEPS THE CAR SEAT SECURE. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALTER AND ALTHOUGH THEY HAD TO BE CONVINCED THERE WAS A PROBLEM, THEY AGREED TO REPLACE BOTH CENTER BELTS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY BE HAPPENING IN OTHER NEW 2002 SEDONA LX'S. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE SEAT BELTS ARE "UNIVERAL" BUT I WANTED TO REPORT THIS FAILURE, AND WHAT DO I DO IF MY VAN IS RETURNED, THE SEAT BELTS WORK FOR A WHILE, AND THEN THIS HAPPENS AGAIN? LUCKILY THIS FAILURE WAS NOTICED WHILE I WAS INSTALLING THE SEAT BELT, AND DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAVE THREE YOUNG CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS.*AK
