FMVSS 208 has a lockability standard. The outboard seatbelts in this vehicle do not switch over to a locked mode for car seats as required by law, I have video I can send on the seatbelts. The video would not attach to this report.

The right rear seat belt has never worked. It has been locked since I bought the vehicle. I found out about it a few weeks afte I purchased the vehicle when my great granddaughter got in the back seat and it didn't work. I took it back to the dealer and they told me they would order a new one. That was several weeks ago and I haven't heard anything from them, so I called them this morning because I want to make a trip next week and people will be in my back seat. They acted like they didn't know what I was talking about. I always talk with the same two people.
