Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My three year-old daughter wrapped the middle seat belt around her neck while sitting in the passenger side back seat. there was no obvious way to release the seat belt which connected from the seat to the ceiling. after nearly strangling my daughter i found a police officer who used a knife to cut the seat belt as it continued to tighten. i later read in the manual that a car key could be used to release the belt from its anchor. *ak
