problem #2

Aug 052007

PT Cruiser 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 70,450 miles
2001 PT CRUISER (touring edition) the rear seat, middle seat belt does not lock up when the seat belt is pulled/yanked on or the vehicle turns corners. My son at 3 months old went tipping over sideways when I made a left hand turn (less then 15 mph). He was safe and secure in his car seat with matching base, but the whole thing tipped over. I tried manually getting it to lock so the base of my sons car seat would stay in place, but I had no luck. He tipped a few times, so I decided to move the seat closer to the drivers side rear door. So now what" do I keep risking him tipping over or risk him being closer one of the doors"
