On august 3, 2003, christopher moffeit, audrey moffiet and their twin daughters, mackenzi moffiet and mallory moffeit, were involved in a motor vehicle rollover accident while traveling in their 2001 chevrolet tahoe. Mackenzie and her sister, mallory, were securely buckled into their child safety seats which were fastened into the backseat of the tahoe with seatbelts. Forensic evidence indicates that the seatbelt securing mackenzi's child safety seat released during the rollover collision.
2001 chevy tahoe; rear passenger seat belts does not retract, the seat belt has to be manual adjusted with a screw driver and doing so cracked the panel. Was only one side but over the years now it is both side. One side just will not retract at all anymore. I have read complaints from other people having the same issue thought it was just us but it must be a manufacture defect. Do not like that they do not retracting if we get in an accident and does not protect our son! Thanks
