problem #1

S60 5-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles
In regard to a 2004 S60 Volvo 2.5 AWD-T we noticed a seat belt problem with the back seat center seat belt. We secured our infant car seat base with the center seat belt, and have been doing so since she was born. The local police station had a service that demonstrated proper installation and insured we were able to do it ourselves. The officer then installed it for us with no problem. Today we noticed the base was really loose! I tried to reinstall the seat by attaching it to the seat belt in the usual fashion. However, I discovered that the seat belt did not hold the base tightly as it did before!!! in summary- normal use led up to the failure of the three point safety belt in the rear center seat position to properly hold the base of an infant car seat safely. We are going to call the dealer first thing in the morning and have it fixed.
