38 Seat Belt problem of the 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander

Failure Date: 04/28/2014

When putting on my driver side seat belt I heard this strange grinding noise from my seat belt. It did not seem to keep me secure in the seat. When I started to drive I moved forward it did not lock like it should to keep you in your seat. I took it to the dealer and was advised I needed a new one. Which will run $491. 00. My car only has 36230 miles on it. This seems to be a safety concern. I cannot drive a car without fully functioning seat belts so I am forced to pay the cost. I think the company should replace it since there are so few miles on the car.

40 Seat Belt problem of the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander

Failure Date: 06/26/2013

The center seat belt is very unsafe. Once the latch is release, it goes back to the top corner, but it hit my son in the eye and forehead. Once you remove the seat belt( center passenger), the belt rolls up very quickly(upper back corner), so the passenger on the third row has to be careful. I have three boys and they are not very careful and they also assume that the seat belt would not roll up so quickly. It very unsafe and bad designed.

41 Seat Belt problem of the 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander

44 Seat Belt problem of the 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander

Failure Date: 12/13/2010

I had an accident while driving down a hill in snowy weather. I have driven for 29 years so I am an experienced driver, having driven this road for eleven years. . . Without an accident. My neighbor was the first one to come to me after the accident and he said it looked as though my back wheels were locked up. I know not to hold the brakes. . . And I imagine that all four brakes would have slid had it been because the brakes were being held. I was headed for the ditch. . Hoping to be able to slow the car down without crashing and for some reason the vehicle just shot in the other direction and struck three trees head on. My air bags did not deploy and I don't believe that the seat belt caught either. . . I hit the steering wheel with my chest and hurt my neck and my teeth clacked together hurting them. I was wearing the seatbelt. I am questioning why the seat belts and air bags didn't work and wonder if there is a malfunction in the braking system and or the acceleration.
