What owners wrote
I was driving on a highway when a car attampted to change the lanes and hit my car. The other car was turned across my lane and I hit the car with my front right side, then my car was pushed onto the concrete divider and I hit the divider with my front left side, all when traveling about 60 MPH. The passanger seat belt didn't lock up, and my wife was thrown on the dashboard. I also hit the stearing wheel with my head, and because I wear glasses I have some facial injuries.
Consumer stated the passenger rear shoulder belt tore in half while child was restrained in seating position.ts vehicle was out of warranty and manufacturer was not willing to assist financially.
