The rear middle seat belt on the car got stuck (or locked). No accident or misuse of the equipment happened. It happened when I was reinstalling my child seat. Now, I am unable to install the child seat. It is a big safety issue and I recommend the government have the manufacturer fix it. There are several other complaints about this incident that I could find when searching on the internet. Not sure if they have officially been reported to the government. Please feel free to reach me if you need more information.
