2 Front Seat Belt Anchorage problem

Failure Date: 12/23/2000

Back end has gone out of control many times for no reason, on 12-23-2000 the back end went out of control and the car went into the on-coming lane which caused a accident. All 3 of our seat belts in my car released durring the accident. I was the only one with light bruises on my hips but not my shoulder, and everyone else didn't have a mark after the 100mph total impact accident. When the seat belt released, I broke the dash board with my knee, even though my seat was as far back as it could go. Right after the accident, we looked down and our seatbelts were laying next to us or retracted. The lady in the other car broke her sturnim as a result of her seat belt. I have possesion of the car and I am going to have it inspected.
