SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
I HAVE A 2002 NISSAN PATHFINDER MANUFACTURED IN APRIL OF THAT YEAR. MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THE LOWER ANCHORS FOR THE LATCH SYSTEM, BUT DOES HAVE A REAR TETHER ANCHOR IN THE FLOORBOARD OF THE TRUNK. I CAN NOT SECURELY INSTALL A REAR-FACING CONVERTIBLE CRS DUE TO EXTENED WEBBING ON THE SEAT BELTS. I HAVE TRIED 3 DIFFERENT CRS MODELS UNSUCESSFULLY. I HAVE CONTACTED THE CAR DEALERSHIP, MAUFACTURER AND A CERTIFIED CAR SEAT SAFETY INSPECTION POINT. AT THIS POINT, THERE IS NOT A REMEDY TO THIS PROBLEM.

THE THROTTLE ON THE VEHICLE STUCK WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE "FLEW" INTO MY PLACE OF BUSINESS BARELY MISSING AN EMPLOYEE. THE VEHICLE HAS $9,500 WORTH OF DAMAGE AND I AM TERRIFIED THAT THE THROTTLE WILL AGAIN STICK AFTER THE BODY WORK IS COMPLETED. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT, SIDE, AND BACK THE AIR BAG ALSO DID NOT DEPLOY AND I WOUND UP WITH A BROKE WRIST. I WANT TO KNOW WHERE I CAN GET ASSURANCE THAT THE THROTTLE WILL NOT AGAI N STICK.*AK
