Complaint Summary

SEAT BELTS

Owner Narrative

I WAS GETTING OFF WORK AND GOING ABOUT 25 MPH ON THE STREET WHEN I WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION, I HAD SEEN THE LIGHT CHANGE WHEN I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, I HEARD A CRUNCHING NOISE AND NO BRAKES. ALL I COULD DO WAS HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK UP AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, WITH ME ENDING UP HITTING THE STEERING. WHEEL.
