My wife while driving a rental 2001 ford taurus on ventura freeway attempted to brake at some point,the brake pedal went to the floor she exited the freeway at off ramp and crashed into a concrete retaining wall.both air bags did not deploy,my wife's shoulder harness gave way, resulting in massive injuries to my wife and serious injuries to my 2 daughters which after surgery had to be redone on one of them.
Seat belt won't extract or retract properly in rear seat causing it to be loose and not fitting. Also causing it to lock up in operation leaving you to have to feed it forcibly back in to be able to use it.
