2021 Subaru Forester Chest Clip Buckle Harness Problems

We’ve been using our Gold Revolve 360 car seat in rear facing for 14 months with our daughter who just turned two on August 19th. After normal wear, no car accidents and removing the carseat from the vehicle only a handful of times for sleepovers at grandparents and I’ve noticed a tear in the right strap, so bad that is nearly cut all the way through. This is toward the bottom where the strap meets the seat. From what I can see, there is nothing for it to rub up on to cause this, and my daughter is not allowed toys while in her car seat that could potentially do this. This is our only carseat at this time and it is extremely concerning every time she rides in it. We spent far too much money for this to happen, especially just over a year of use. I’ve tried reaching out to Evenflo via phone, website contact support and have emailed 8 times. Their chat services on the website are never available, even during hours of operation. I’ve called the number provided to me when I got the automatic response to the form I filled out on the contact tab,1 (800) 233-5921, and was told to email only by a automated message. Then there was a different number listed on the website that was a fraud number, 1 (800) 223-5921. And have yet to receive an email back after being asked to send a list of specific photos for their engineer team over a month ago. At this point I don’t feel safe putting my daughter in the car seat anymore. This should’ve been the last car seat I had to buy for her until a booster seat. And it barely made it a year and cost me $400+. I’m beyond frustrated by the lack of support I’ve received from Evenflo and the trust I had in this product.
