1 Seat Belt problem of the 2005 Dodge Neon

Failure Date: 06/03/2013

My sons had a crash in a 2005 Dodge Neon. They were going approximately 40-45 mph. They hit a mailbox with metal pipes, a parked durango, a parked malibu, decorative rocks in the corner, went airborne and totaled the whole passenger side front end of the car. Neither of the air bags deployed, and the seat belts didn't lock. We bought this card because of the safety features for our teenage son and they did not work.

2 Seat Belt problem of the 2004 Dodge Neon

Failure Date: 05/24/2013

On may 24, 2013 I was driving home from work with another employee. We were going approximately 60 mph on a highway, it was 12:15 in the morning, and it was raining. I was driving in the center lane when my passenger yelled out that the semi truck next to us was merging over into our lane and was about to hit us. I tried to move over into the third, left lane to avoid getting hit by the truck, but as soon as I did the car lost control. It started to fish tail and ended up hitting the center wall on the driver's side and then got shot across the highway and into the semi truck we were trying to avoid. The car hit the semi truck at an angle so the entire passengers side was hit and crushed, including part of the front of the car. I blacked out as soon as we hit because my head hit the top of the passenger's side doorway. I only know this because I had two large goose eggs on the right side of my head and a while after the accident we went to go see the car and a large chunk of my hair was hanging from the doorway. This is where the seat belt complaint comes in. My seat belt did not seize up during the collision and I suffered serious injuries including a concussion, broken rib, collapsed lung, hole in my lung, and lacerated liver. My passenger also suffered extremely serious injuries including concussion, both lung collapsed, multiple broken ribs, lacerated liver, broken pelvis, and broken hips. She was in the hospital for over 2 months and is still unable to walk. I make this complaint for the seat belts because I do not believe our injuries would have been as serious had they worked properly. Also, the airbags should have gone off at some point with the side frontal damage at the very least. I am uncertain whether my car had side airbags but if they did, they definitely should have deployed. I would like this issue looked into and some resolve to come from it.
