Dt*: the contact stated the driver side air bag did not deploy in a frontal impact crash. The speed at the time of impact was 42 MPH. There was pre-impact braking. The driver was wearing the seat belt, but the lock became unlatched. The driver sustained a concussion on the forehead and sprain in the hand, risk, arm and right knee. A police report was process.
The seat belt no longer retracts properly. I am concerned that it may no longer provide the pretension required for safe operation of the air bags.
I bought the car used in 2002. Since I have had the car my brakes keep making this cracking noises. Ive replaced them since ive had the car about 7 times including replacing my rotors and getting them turned, yet the problem still exsist. I have even bought the most expessive and suppose to be the best brake pads . You can buy for a mittsubishi galant. They are fine for the first few weeks after I replace them but they go back to the same way after a few weeks. Also my passenger side front seat belt keeps getting stuck. I have tried to fix it numerous times but it wont stop getting stuck. Can you please help me.
Drivers lap seat belt will not retract. While extending it to buckle, a noise like a tape measure rapidly closing was heard, then it would not retract. It extends out to its full extent, and is apparently worthless in case of an accident.
While traveling about 35mph on a side street another vehicle veered in front of consumer's vehicle, and she hit vehicle head-on. Upon impact, driver's side seat belt broke, and airbags didn't go off. Dealership was aware of problem.
I ran into a center divider onthe highway and my airbags didn't deploy and seatbelt did not lock.crash caused by loss of vehicle control.
Vehicle wanders off into another lane. Also, driver's side seatbelt retractors are in backwards/there is a gasoline leak from underneath vehicle, and vehicle shakes and vibrates when traveling on the highway.
Consume r was traveling on highway and seatbelt light came on. She pulled over to the side of the shoulder and opened the door. Seatbelt was stuck. She had to climb underneath. Seatbelt wouldn't retract, and cable came out from vehicle.
