“As I was leaving for work one day, I tried hooking my seat belt and it unhooked, I tried again and it unhooked. Hooked until the last time.

My car also has a non functional audio system and non functioning charger outlet. This is a hazard because I usually travel and need my navigation system functioning to get to places.

NHTSA complaint #11103482, filed 2018-06, 65,000 miles

“The Corolla moving at about 35 MPH on a 3 lane road hit another car that was stopped at a yellow blinking light in the rear, the Corolla's impact was on the left front side first so on a slight angle to the rear of the stopped car so it did not hit squarely. The seat belt did not function and the female driver of the Corolla hit her head on the window and her right knee hit the under dash, her weight is about 110 lbs. And small body frame. The air bags also did not function there is around $9000 damage to the car so this was not just a small collision. I have attached a pdf file with photos.”
