The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
I have the sunshine kids radian sl car seat. The superlatch belt features a tilt/lock mechanism that falls against the corner of the belt path in many vehicles, resulting in an inability to lock. This could cause the child restraint to fail to function in a crash, possibly resulting in injury or death. Many parents might not notice this happening and may trust the superlatch belt. After contacting sunshine kids customer service, I was told to keep trying to tighten it. I have discussed this with other owners of this car seat who experience the same problem and are unable to solve it by continuing to "keep trying."
