Seat Belt problem #1

Airbag light is on telling you to service airbag. I took it to the shop they fixed it, 1 week later came back on. They said it has to do with the seat belt buckle. They said the part thet you connect to secure you in the seat belt needs to be replaced. Until then the airbag light stays on saying service airbag but it's really not the airbag it's the seat buckle. I was in motion on city street.

Seat Belt problem #2

Involved in head-on collision on July 31, 2016 when a vehicle pulled out in front of me on a clear, dry, day on pavement I was traveling about 30 mph and tried to swerve to miss the other vehicle, but my vehicle made contact on the left front quarter panel of my car hitting the other vehicle at the drivers side door. My air bag did not go off nor did the seat belt stop me from hitting the steering wheel. After the accident, the warning panel read "service air bag". The other driver was ticketed for failure to yield.

Seat Belt problem #3

Traveling 81 north in northeast pennsylvania, rounding turn car stalled. I lost complete control of the vehicle which caused me to slam into a guard rail and the car went down an embankment and into a boulder. Air bags never deployed. Passenger and I were severely injured and had to be pulled out of the vehicle. Although we were both buckled in, the seatbelts flew off upon impact. This car should be recalled, it is very dangerous and should not be on the road (its a death trap).
