Child Seat

Read full complaint

I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE CAR SEAT WE HAD BEEN USING WITH MY DAUGHTER. IT WAS A COSCO CAR SEAT/HIGH BACK BOOSTER MODEL NUMBER 02-442-JUB. SHE IS WIGGLING THE "EASY TO USE" ONE PIECE HARNESS RETAINER UNTIL THE SEAT BELT IS FREED AND THEREFORE OFFERING HER NO PROTECTION. SHE HAD DONE THIS AT SEVEN MONTHS OF AGE. CHILDREN AT THIS AGE HAVE NO CONCEPT OF RIGHT AND WRONG AND THEREFORE CANNOT BE TAUGHT TO "NOT" UNHOOK THE BELT. WE DID HOWEVER TRY TO DIVERT HER ATTENTION TO OTHER OBJECTS WHICH WORKED FOR A FEW MINUTES ONLY. I WROTE TO COSCO WANTING TO INFORM THEM OF THIS DANGER AND I WAS TOLD I SHOULD USE "POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT" TO KEEP MY CHILD FROM UNHOOKING HER BELT. ??? POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT AT 7 MONTHS OLD? NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT IS AN IMPOSSIBLE "IDEAL". I FEEL THIS SEAT SHOULD HAVE A DIFFERENT MECHANISM FOR THE CHEST COMPONENT OF THE 5 POINT HARNESS. THAT ALONE WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO PROTECT "OUR" CHILDREN. *AK

95V103001 · Seat Belts:front:buckle Assembly

May 24, 1995

THE FRONT SAFETY BELT BUCKLE RELEASE BUTTONS CAN BREAK. THESE RED PLASTIC RELEASE BUTTONS ARE MARKED "PRESS." IF A BUTTON BREAKS, PIECES CAN FALL INTO THE BUCKLE ASSEMBLY CAUSING THE BUCKLE TO OPERATE IMPROPERLY.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: THE SAFETY BELTS WOULD NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION TO AN OCCUPANT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Remedy: OWNERS SHOULD PROMPTLY CHECK THE CONDITION AND OPERATION OF BOTH FRONT SAFETY BELT BUCKLES. CAREFULLY INSPECT THE RED RELEASE BUTTON FOR ANY BREAKS OR CRACKS. CHECK THAT BOTH BUCKLES ARE OPERATING PROPERLY BY INSERTING EACH LATCH PLATE INTO ITS BUCKLE, TUG ON THE BELT TO MAKE SURE THE LATCH IS SECURELY LOCKED, THEN PRESS THE RELEASE BUTTON. THE LATCH PLATE SHOULD POP OUT OF THE BUCKLE WHEN THE BUTTON IS PRESSED. IF EITHER RELEASE BUTTON SHOWS ANY SIGN OF BREAKAGE OR CRACKING, OR IF EITHER BUCKLE FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY, PROMPTLY CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED HONDA/ACURA DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE BUCKLE REPLACED OR REPAIRED, FREE OF CHARGE. THE MANUFACTURER IS DEVELOPING A REMEDY DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE FAILURE OF THE BUTTONS THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY BROKEN.

Apr 22, 1993

Remedy: REPLACE THE SENSOR IN THE REAR SEAT BELT RETRACTOR.
