I was rear ended into another car on oct. 29 2002 and niether the air bag worked as well as the seatbelt did not lock. I had head, neck, and back injuries at that time. I did't question these things not working because I was not hit hard. Oct. 27,2003 I was involved in the exact same type of accident only this time I was hit hard from behind and hit the car infront of me hard. Again nothing worked and this time the police even questioned the air bag. Again I have injuries to my face, head, neck, shoulder, and back but to what extent I do not know yet. I was at a complete stop in both accidents and hit straight on in the rear. In 2002 I hit the car in front straight on and now in 2003 I hit the front can with the center to passenger side. My car is said to be totaled.

Car turned over upside down in small creek. Safety belt of driver and rear passenger failed to release after multiple attempts by driver. The rear passenger was my two year old daughter and she died, because the safety belts failed to release and jammed. She drowned and my sister in law was the driver and almost died due to the safety belts jamming and not releasing, so she was unable to get to my daughter. The first people on the scene had to cut the safety belts for them to get them both out of the car and it was to late for my daughter. The creek was less than 18 inches deep. Car only turned over one time to upside down position and approximate speed was twenty miles an hour. My daughter had no other injuries from the accident except for drowning (I have read her medical records thoroughly). My sister in law had no other injuries except for near drowning and 2 small cut's. My daughter lost her life because the safety belts jammed and failed to release.

Seat belts rear have completely fallen a part. There were no attachment t0 click on. Dealership was aware of problem.

Consumer was at the traffic light going through the intersection. The traffic in front of him had slowed down, but the car behind didn't comply. Car hit consumer's vehicle from behind, and smashed it in. Sea tbelt failed to restrain, and driver sustained back and neck injuries.

Driver's side seat belt is not staying on track, and the consumer states the cover is coming off the track of the seat belt.

The belt is far too long to be used with a car seat - we had to tie it in a knot in order to use our child seat!.

Driver's side and passenger's side automatic shoulder belts will not retract and lock, causing loss of protection.

The vehicle had poor gas mileage. The drivers window jammed. The rubber piece around the frame of the right side rear passenger's seat constantly came off. The shoulder harness on driver's side and in the rear seats twisted and jammed. The dashboard cover came loose. The radio operated poorly. The trunk latch often required multiple pulls to open the trunk. The air bag light intermittently came on. While driving there was a whining/grinding noise.

Consumer states dashboard was completely replaced due to falling apart, rear seatbelt broke and is coming out of the sockets.

Vehicle was hit from the rear, and driver's side seatbelt came loose from the panel, forcing the driver into the steering wheel. Dealer has not seen vehicle.
