| Seat belt flaw put child in danger. the middle third row seat belt would not unlatch; my six year old became tangled in it and had to be cut out, it was cutting off his air supply - after the incident, i looked in the manual which said there was a hidden key but i could not find such a key. if i had been involved in a crash or had to throw on the brakes suddenly, he could have been killed. after our failed attempts to free him while pulled over on the side of the road, i drove to the nearest house and borrowed scissors to cut him free. i called gmc to report this and they said they had no complaints on this issue. the middle belt extends from the roof down to the seat. he obviously pulled it out enough to wrap it around himself one time and then through wiggling caused it to tighten and then as he struggled to get out, it kept tightening. when i finally pulled over to help him, the belt was so tight i could not even get a finger between him and the belt. he was gasping for air and crying. this belt needs a regular belt latch. *tr | |||

| The seat belt latches in the second row bench seat in our 2008 gmc acadia present an injury risk. they are made of metal, extend approximately three inches above the seat, and are immovable. when a person tries to slide across the seat the latch can cause injury. it would be worse it a person sit on the latch directly. we have had two people with pain and bruises from contact with these latches. *tr | |||
