2011 Volkswagen Jetta Seat belts Problems

MY TIRED WAS PUNCTURED AND THE TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AT ALL. THE SEATBELTS NEVER RETRACT AFTER TAKING THEM OFF THEY JUST HANG THERE. SOMETIMES WHEN I LOCK THE DOORS THE ALARM DOES NOT SOUND OFF INDICATING THE ALARM IS SET, ALSO MY HORN WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO BUT NEVER WHEN IT SHOULD, FOR INSTANCE THERE WAS A CAR COMING UP THE STREET THE WRONG WAY AND MY CAR FAILED TO CREATE SOUND FROM THE HORN FOR ME TO ALERT THE OTHER DRIVER. MY CAR COULD BE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY NONE OF THE ABOVE WORKS, MY BRAKES HAVE WENT OUT A FEW TIMES WHILE I WAS IN MOTION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AS WELL. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING WAY BEFORE THE DATE I LISTED BELOW BUT I JUST THOUGHT THESE WERE NORMAL ISSUES I NEED TO GET FIXED ON MY OWN BUT WHO KNEW IT WAS A RECALL ISSUE ALL ALONG.

MY 3 YEAR OLD SON'S SEATBELT LOCKED AROUND HIM WHEN HE THRUST HIMSELF FORWARD IN HIS CAR SEAT. I ATTEMPTED TO GET HIM OUT, BUT HE HAD APPARENTLY PUT THE TOP PORTION OF THE SEATBELT BEHIND HIS NECK. ANY ATTEMPT I MADE TO GET HIM OUT ONLY RESULTED IN THE SEATBELT TIGHTENING MORE AND MORE. SUBSEQUENTLY, I HAD TO CALL 911 AND MEDICS CAME TO CUT HIM OUT OF THE SEATBELT.

WE BOUGHT A NEW CAR ONE MONTH AGO. OUR TWO PRIORITIES WERE:SAFETY AND ENOUGH ROOM FOR OUR BABY. ONE DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO GO WITH MY BABY TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE. I CHECKED THE BASE OF THE CAR SEAT AND I NOTICED THAT IT WAS LOOSE. I AM NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO PULL THE STRAPS (WE WERE USING THE "LATCH ON" SYSTEM) AND I TRIED TO USE THE SAFETY BELT (OF THE MIDDLE REAR SEAT). IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCK UP THIS BELT BECAUSE IT DOES NOT WORK LIKE THE OTHERS. YOU PULL OUT THE BELT AND WILL NEVER BE LOCKED UP. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE THE FEELING THAT IT IS LOCKED BUT, AFTER A DOUBLE CHECK, IT IS NOT . THIS COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS RISK IF YOU PLACE YOUR BABY'S CAR SEAT OR A PERSON IS SETTING THERE. BECAUSE, IN CASE OF A CAR ACCIDENT, THE BELT WILL NOT HOLD PROPERLY THE PERSON OR THE BABY'S CAR SEAT. IN BOTH CASES THE PERSON COULD BE EJECTED. *TR

UPON PICKING UP MY CHILD FROM DAYCARE TODAY, I INSPECTED HER CARSEAT. I FOUND THE "SUPERLATCH" LATCH STRAP WAS VISIBLY LOOSE. I CHECKED FOR MOVEMENT AT THE BELT PATH AND FOUND APPROX 2" OF MOVEMENT. I IMMEDIATELY TIGHTENED IT DOWN AND CHECKED FOR MOVEMENT AGAIN. THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT. I PUT MY CHILD IN HER SEAT AND ADJUSTED THE HARNESS. I THEN PUT MY OTHER CHILD IN HIS CARSEAT. AFTERWARDS, I CHECKED THE BELTPATH OF MY DAUGHTER'S RADIAN XTSL AGAIN. BY THIS POINT THERE WAS ABT 0.5" MOVEMENT (STILL AN ACCEPTABLE INSTALL, BUT LOOSER THAN IT HAD BEEN LESS THAN 2 MINUTES EARLIER). I TIGHTENED IT DOWN AGAIN AND DROVE MY CHILDREN HOME (ABT 4 MILES OR 10 MINUTES). UPON ARRIVING HOME, I NOTICED THAT THE SL LATCH STRAP WAS VISIBLY LOOSE AGAIN. WHEN I CHECKED IT AT THE BELT PATH, THERE WAS ABT 1.5" MOVEMENT (MORE THAN THE 1" OF AN "ACCEPTABLE" INSTALL). SINCE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE LOOSENING, NOR HOW TO STOP IT FROM HAPPENING, I HAVE REINSTALLED THE CARSEAT USING MY VEHICLE'S SEATBELT. I WILL NOT RISK MY CHILD'S LIFE BY USING THE SEAT IMPROPERLY INSTALLED. THE CARSEAT IS A SUNSHINE KIDS RADIAN XTSL, MODEL NUMBER US 19500 (NOT AVAILABLE AS A CHOICE ON THE NEXT PAGE OF THIS FORM) AND WAS MANUFACTURED IN 10/09. IT IS INSTALLED REAR-FACING, PASSENGER OUTBOARD, IN A 2011 VW JETTA SPORTWAGEN. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2011, MAKE=VOLKSWAGEN, MODEL=JETTA SPORTWAGEN). *TR
