I am reporting a safety concern involving a 2019 Nuna RAVA convertible car seat. The harness adjustment mechanism is malfunctioning, and the adjustment button does not operate properly, preventing me from reliably adjusting the harness to secure my child. I contacted Nuna customer service and provided video documentation of the malfunction. Nuna informed me that this model has been discontinued and that replacement parts are no longer available.

Approximately 6 weeks ago I was driving on the Garden State Parkway North in the middle lane at about 65mph when the car just stopped. A voice came over the car speaker asking if I had a problem.

If this happened on an expressway or busy road, I feel my life would be in danger. The dealer couldn’t duplicate the problem next day, but was

While driving today, I was at a stop light waiting to turn left. There was a car in front of me at their designated light waiting to turn right. When light turned green, the rav 4 registered the car turning as a potential accident and slammed the safety breaks while we turned left. RAV4 went in full stop in the middle of the turning street. Thankfully a car was not behind us or that could’ve caused an accident. The sensors seem to be too sensitive.
