Dang, just checked mine and it has the spikes. No harness damage though. Thanks for the heads up. I'll be extra careful when using it as our spare. Ugh.

The people that are reporting that they have damage--------File a complaint with NHTSA asap! Try and take pictures too of your damage! I do have the email for the lead investigator from NHTSA, if you PM me I will give you his direct email. I'm sure he would love to see more pics of damage.
*I would not file the spikes down
*I would call Dorel and tell them about the problem. *Also tell Dorel that you are filing a complaint with NHTSA
* It is your choice if you would like to accept the new "puncture proof" harness they are offering.
My advice would be tell dorel you are buying a new seat. They will refund you up to $49.99 for your Scenera IF you purchase another Dorel product. Copy the reciept and fax it to them with a short cover letter. They will send you a packet to cut your old harness , remove the DOM stick and a 3" patch of material to send back to them.
I returned my Scenera though to the store after copying the receipt. I'm putting the $ toward a Britax. I'm done with Dorel.
Ok, mine has no damage *YET*---I looked and saw none. I found out why it wasn't tightening, though, so that is fixed. But.... Date of Manufacture is 2/07---
Mine does have the jagged edges! UGHHH!!!!
Now, what should I do? Call anyways? I don't feel safe using this seat now! My kids still have a good 6 months in it I think.
Not to be glib, but is this reportable? Ow!. . .The harness appears to be fine, which SHOCKS me since those spikes are SHARP! I now have a lovely scratch across my finger from where it brushed up against my finger.
Supposedly they "fixed" the spikes, but since the fix, there seems to be more problems. If I had aScenera in use right now, I might put tape on the spike to make it more blunt. Not so much as to interfere, but just enough to make the ends not so sharp.

What are the "more problems"?
