“Seaat belt not connected to the body instead it is connected to the door and in a recent accident the door was torn off and the passenger was thrown out of the car and killed the youth . And I am concerned that that could happen again and would like to know if you have some program to have my car taken in and have the seatbelts replaced in a safe position. I do know that in 1994 or 1995 you have chosen to put the seatbelts in a safer position. Thank you . I will be looking for a reply.”
