Failure Date: 11/20/1998

My son was involved in a traffic accident where the car rolled over and hit numerous trees. Both air bags did not open and the seat belt broke away. . . Miracously my son ended up in the back seat with only a modest bump on his head. . . . . Witnessess as well as the towing/wrecking yard could not believe there were no serious injuries, especially considering the condition of the vehicle. . . When purchasing the auto I recall that safety reports were generally favorable. . . Given the impact of this accident it is incredible that the airbags did not open and that the seat belt broke away. . .
