| 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. the result was a 4 inch gash in my forehead from the b bar of the vehicle because the seatbelt didn't properly restrain me even though it was adjusted to proper shoulder height and pulled tight around my waist. the air bags did not deploy in the car at all. as a result i suffered injuries resulting in the payment of $2900 to my local hospital and ambulance business. the vehicle had passed an inspection just a couple months earlier had a tuneup and inspection for worn jball joints fittings wires hoses and wires and bolts which cost a large sum of money. a few minor parts were replaced and the car was deemed to be in safe working order. *tr | |||

| Seat belt button on left front is raised about 1/8 to 1/4 above buckle. 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. the rep for dodge also stated that they were not going to recall them!! i do not want thoes seat belts in my car, they are not safe. i do not want my grand kids in that car with unsafe seat belts. thank you very much. undone from the buckle*ak | |||
