This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I own two sunshine kids superlatch radians (65sl) [model: US16500, dom 12/09, serial # 12090124403603]. I have installed them both rear facing and forward facing in my 2007 Toyota Sienna with latch. Initially, the installs appear to be tight and not move more than 1 inch in any direction. The latch strap on both car seats "self" loosen while the child rides in the seat. I am able to replicate the issue with every use regardless if seat is rear facing or forward facing. I have contacted sunshine kids to report the problem and was not given a solution to my complaint. I am currently certified as a child passenger safety technician. My fear is, the seat appears to be correctly installed and compatible with the vehicle but then it becomes compromised during/after use. Issue: Adjustment buckle on the latch strap loosens over time.
