2014 Jeep PATRIOT - Other/I am not sure Failure Complaint (#b0c474)

2014 Jeep PATRIOT

  • Date of Incident: Apr-22, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Apr-22, 2024
  • Failed components: Other/I am not sure

The snuglock feature on the car seat is not securing the seat belt for a safe installation. My child is able to loosen the installation of the car seat belt by pushing on vehicle seat while rear facing in the car seat. This is a reoccurring problem, even after reinstallation. The seat belt comes loose. This means in an accident the car seat would likely move off of the vehicle seat due to failure of the seat belt securing it to the vehicle seat.
