“My mother was involved in an accident in my 1989 Acura Legend, which the driver's seat belt released upon the impact of the incident. She was then citated for not wearing a safety belt. I have recently found that they were recalled in may of 1995. I purchased the vehicle on a year ago.”
NHTSA complaint #10056468, filed 2004-02, 159,000 miles“The seatbelts (all 5 seatbelts) failed to responsd to a forceful break. I contacted a dealer in california years ago, but they said that it was not their responsibility. My question is what DOT can do to protect us customers from imported cars which fail to equip proper seatbelt systems? And to whom the customer can contact? Because I have tried to contact Acura manufacture thru their web page, but they provide no feedback portion.”
