1 Front Seat Belt problem of the 2002 Kia Motor RIO

Failure Date: 07/19/2005

My daughter was driving south on hwy 360 in grand prairie texas going about 50 mph and an other vehicle was crossing the lanes toward her and hit her vehicle at the front right side (passenger side). She was wearing a seat belt and so was the passenger. The seatbelt on the passenger side did not work and airbags on neither side deployed. The passenger went forward striking the front windshield suffering head and body injuries.

2 Front Seat Belt problem of the 2004 Kia Motor RIO

Failure Date: 01/17/2005

During a frontal-impact accident, the driver airbag failed to deploy until after I hit the steering wheel. I then saw the passenger airbag deploy. Neither the seat belt nor the airbag stopped me from hitting the steering wheel causing chest wall contusions and muscle strains in chest and back. I'm still out of work due to the injuries. The car was totaled.
