| I was recently installing my britax regent as directed. and used the carseat belt for my daughter who is now about 55 lbs. while installing i saw how if we were in an accident the gen 3 seat belt acceptor would fail when it made contact with her carseat. so my child would no longer be protected. in order to install her seat i had to twist the connector about 8-10 times to keep it as far away from the seat as possible. i twisted the connector until it could not twist any further. i am still do not want to have my child ride here but i have no other choice. i will be replacing the connector as soon as i can. i want to have daimler chrysler replace my seat belt connectors with either gen 2 or gen 4 connectors. all gen 3 seat belt connectors need to be recalled and replaced! note for below numbers. i have not been involved in a crash yet. *tr | |||

| The driver's seat belt housing attachment blocked the view from the window when trying to overcome blind spot. the belt housing attachment to the vehicle's frame was very wide. the windows glass also seemed difficult to see through. the vehicle was taken tot he dealer and was traded in for another vehicle. *jb *nlm | |||

| My seat belts in this car are too easy to open. all it takes for an article of clothing to hit the button and it pops open. i have three young children riding in my car with me and the other day my daughter dropped her juice cup onto the latch when she fell asleep and it opened. i was unaware that it opened until my older daughter stated what had happened. i contacted the dealership and they said that there was no recall issused for the seatbelts, however i feel that this is a major safety issue. later that night my husband went to the car and just rested his arm in the back on the button very gently as if a child might and it opened. i think this is a serious issue that needs to be addressed, as well as other people made aware that this might happen to them. *ak | |||
