SEAT BELTS - FRONT - ANCHORAGE
05/24/1998		1	08/01/1997
	On 5/24/1998 my 16 yr old son was driving to church at 9:30am that sunday morning when he was going around a curve, his right front tire went off the road, he over corrected when trying to bring truck tire back on road, truck went out of control, flipped several times and my son (greg dyal) was thrown from drivers side door when his seat belt he was wearing at the time came loose. i retained an attorney after i checked with nissan dealership & found out there were 2 recalls on this vehicle for the seatbelts. (listed in your report on 10/20/1998 as nhtsa action # ea95007). my attorney hired a seatbelt specialists to come in & investigate ,which he did find evidence that my son was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the accident. i paid $1500 for this specialist. my son was thrown approx 80-90 feet from the vehicle. i came up on the accident w/in 5 minutes & my son was unconsious and barely alive. he died within 1 1/2 hrs at the hospital. had he not been thrown from the vehicle, most likely he would've survived since the vehicle was barely damaged on his cab side. my attorney dragged his feet on this so long that i was told the 2 yr statue had ran out & there's nothing i can do now. i need some justification on this matter. the principal of the high school my son attended was the previous & only owner of this truck when he traded it in at the dealership where i worked at the time. how can i let nissan get away with this. there's not a day goes by that i dont cry cause i miss my son so much & he shouldn't have died in this accident. the previous owner said he never received notification of the recalls on the seatbelt or he would've had them fixed himself. please help me in this matter. i don't know where else to turn. i also have a complaint with the nassau county, fl dot, because of the conditions of the road & the pot holes on the edge of the road and the narrowness of the road which helped cause the accident. please respond & help me on this. thank you.*ak

	The seat belt assembly has already been replaced under a recall. the problem is that it seems to engage but doesn't, and then pops loose later. i think it performs better now than original did before replacement, but maybe i am just more careful about testing it. in any case, it still repeatedly fails to latch properly. *ak
