“I was wearing my seatbelt traveling 30 miles per hour in my 2001 Dodge Intrepid es. My right font tire somehow snapped while I was traveling in a straight course and did not hit any debris or potholes while on the road. I had no control of any steering while it happened and crashed into and oncoming car at 30mph as I said I had my seatbelt on and hit the right front side of the opposing vehicle. …”

I must have bumped it with hand or something cause the lach came out of buckle. I do not like the fact that these belts do that. I have grand kids that ride in my car. I also saw that news special about , the seat belts not being safe. They said they were not putting them in front of the new cars, but are in the back seats. They are not putting them in the vans or suvs any more. The rep for Dodge stated they were awear that the seat belts did not pass the steal ball test. …”
