On my mitsubishi 2002 gt spyder, the clutch has gone out. It only has 56k miles... (I do not ride the clutch or anything).

Filed Jun 13, 2002 · Airbags · IL · 1 injury

I am an employee of mitsubishi motors manufacturing of america (mmma). On october 4, 2001 I was injured at work. I was hit in the head by the seat belt guide on the front passenger (right) seat of a 2002 mitsubishi spyder convertible. The seat hit me with considerable force causing a mild concussion. I did not black out at the time of the injury. However, I experienced blurred vision (which continued for a few days), neck pain, back pain and severe head pain. A few weeks after the accident I started having "spells" as my neurologist calls them. I was given a prescription for anti-seizure medications. My neurologist restricted me from driving for 5 months. Anyway, my concern is if this can happen to an employee who works in the plant, it can happen to a consumer. And if one of these seats were to hit a child with the force it hit me it could be fatal. I can't identify the exact vehicle that caused my injury. I can tell you the date and the approximate time. If you feel this is worth investigating please feel free to contact me.
