This car we own was in a accident the whole front end was pushed in cause it hit a mercury mountaineer. The geico adjuster couldnt beleive that the airbags did not deploy nor the seatbelt retracted! The only thing that saved my wife was the seatbelt for a sec and hitting the steering wheel. The adjuster also had said that the sensors for the air bags were tripped and it did not work. This is a huge safety issue! Geico is filing a subrogation claim against mitsubishi since we called mistsubishi and they didnt want to do anything about it. Marias at mistubishi just said to file a claim with our insurance without even sending their own people to check out the vehicle. Marieas can be reached at 18886487820 claim number 1254613189. He didnt even have the courtesy to send his own investigators to find out what happened! The whole front end of the mitsubishi lancer was pushed in and was pronounce a total loss from geico. Geico's examiner was jose mejia 3053079614. Something needs to be done about this before someone gets killed! My wife at time of accident was on her way home on highway 874 southbound.

Seatbelts, in cars& pickups of today, the clip on the right side is under person setting there, no way to fasten seatbelt. In older cars & pickups it stuck up where you could fasten it,in my wife's car I cannot fasten it, just can in my pickup. Also the new driving lights, ((add ons)) when pickups comes up behind you, no way to see, it blinds you. Reason death rate has fallen,!!!! People can't afford gas to drive as much!!!!!!!!!! Less miles, less deaths. Hope you do something seat belts!!!! I've paid my last ticket for no seat belt. If I have to I'll file a civil rights case next time I get a ticket, get seat belt law threw out. I think belts save lives, but they need to be made safe to use!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, thank you, have a nice day.

I just bought a mitsubishi lancer, seat belt is way too short, it literally chokes me, is hard to buckle and unbuckle with my hands/ mitsubishi dealer says seat belt has to be defective before they will replace. They will not add an extension on it. I have 2 choices -don't wear a seat belt and get tickets or die in a wreck, or wear it, have to keep seat pushed so far back to make seat belt buckle- but then can hardly reach pedals, and cant breathe or be comfortable wearing it because it cuts off my chest terribly. I am permanently disabled with any problems and not being able to wear my seat bealt scares me as a seat belt save my life in jan 2005.
