ok never mind the fact that the child stated in the case was only 8mon old and legally should not be forward facing and therefore should have never been struck in the head in the first place, thus why Chrysler won! Not saying the seat back is not an issue, but in the case stated, yes you void your liability if you can not follow the manufactures guidelines and laws. The manner in which the child was seat was illegal, thus Chrysler go off scot free
The child is a girl and the expert, Ken Saczalski, PhD., designed a behind the seat belt like you suggest. Would cost $50/seat. Chrysler used good, strong seats in their Sebrings the same years they built these for middle class families. The Federal Courts are far more packed with corporate sponsored judges than the 5-4 Supreme Court.
@MrGiggity1000 Volvo tried to get the US to require less powerful airbags like the ones used in Europe. The US uses airbags that will protect a large person NOT using a seat belt. That is why they are dangerous even to small adults.
They snap and break. It happens. My friend reached behind her seat and her's broke... which is what lead her to look into it further- what she found was this video and others like it. It needs to be addressed.

shouldnt that happen in a frontal collision?
1englandnigga 2 years ago
Air bags and seat belts cushion in frontal impacts.
Most of these seats have been redesigned, but older vehicles still have cheap weak seats. $50/seat for a safe seat.

I wouldn't think a seat would unlock itself and do that? Unless the driver is holding on to the lever that controls the seat?
bluethen 5 years ago
It doesn't unlock it fails, it breaks, the metal bends. The sad thing is the cost of making them safe is minimal--about $50 per seat.
But they won, they cannot be sued now no matter how many more children are brain damaged or killed.
