We have had our CX-5 about 6 months and enjoy it very much.
One complaint is that the anchors for the front seat belts are placed where short-legged rear seat passengers may press on them.
In specific, our son and his friend frequently push on those anchors while they are riding in back. I think that their legs are just the right length that the seat belt anchor is a desirable target for pushing on. It is, of course, unpleasant for the front seat passenger. I doubt it could seriously damage the anchor, but it does make a mess of the housing.
When I sit in back, my feel naturally go on the floor below the front seat, and I don't really even notice that the front seat belt anchors are nearby. But it happens very frequently with my son and his friend. We don't have this issue in our other car (Mazda 3) or other recent/past vehicles, so I guess the CX-5 placement puts those anchors in the way of fidgety feet.
Anybody else having this? Any suggestions to counteract it? I have thought of putting a little footstool in there to see if it helps redirect the feet until he grows a bit taller. Or a shock collar ;-)
Thanks.
