“I went to put a child's safety seats into car and the seatbelt would not lock in place at all. When I bought car I told dealership that the seat belt didn't work and they said the would check that did not check seatbelt still does not work. I call Mitsubishi and they said that the seatbelts were out of their time frame for replacement and that there was nothing they could do to help me. All back seat seatbelt do not work in manner they are to and would like something done. Car is a Mitsubishi 2000 montero limited sport.”
NHTSA complaint #10204671, filed 2007-10, 78,000 miles“My son fell asleep while driving. He veered into the median and flipped 5 to 6 times. On first impact his seat belt released, therefore he was thrown up and down each time he flipped. On inspection of the seat belt, it was found that the red release button was ripped out of the receiver part of the seat belt. My son missed five days of work because of the accident. If his seat belt would have held up he might have missed only one day of work. The only lingering injury that he sustained was an injured tail bone that still bothers him. …”
NHTSA complaint #10170062, filed 2006-10, 134,595 miles“As I began to feel faint while driving a mountain highway, I started to pull off the road. I remember putting my foot on the brake and the next thing I knew I had hit a tree. I was able to get out of the driver's seat and out of the vehicle. The airbag did not fully inflate on the driver side position. There were no passengers in the vehicle. My arm had lacerations and cuts and the wind shield was cracked in several places. Neither the airbag nor the seatbelt kept me from hitting the windshield.”
