Narrative

THE CHILD SEAT VEHICLE LATCH ANCHORS ARE PRACTICALLY INACCESSIBLE. THE ANCHORS ARE POSITIONED UNDER THE SEAT CAUSING GREAT DIFFICULTY IN ATTACHING THE CHILD SEAT TO THE BRACKETS. THIS HAS CAUSED INJURY TO THE PERSON ATTEMPTING TO ATTACH THE LATCH TO THE ANCHOR. ALSO IT HAS RESULTED IN IMPROPERLY SECURING THE CHILD SEAT. IT SEEMS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT, WHEREAS THE ANCHOR WHICH IS SHAPED LIKE AN "L" BRACKET WAS INSTALLED UPSIDE DOWN. THE LOCATION OF THESE ANCHORS ARE UNDER THE SEAT RATHER THAN BETWEEN THE GAP OF THE SEAT CUSHION AND THE BACK CUSHION ARE VERY UNREASONABLE TO USE. ATTEMPTING TO UTILIZE THE ANCHOR HAS CAUSED UNDUE AMOUNT OF TIME, STRESS AND INJURY. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALER.
