Tl* the contact owns a 2006 suzuki aerio. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the front passenger side seat belt became abnormally tight and caused welts to the passenger's neck. The contact also noticed that the air bag warning light was illuminated continuously and a message that indicated that the passenger side air bag was deactivated. The problem recurred multiple times.
Sirs; the other day I was driving down the road and noticed my daughter doing what just about every woman does. She had her legs on the dash board. Then it occurred to me, if a deer or other car popped out in front of us and I hit them, the air bag would come out, and it would throw her legs behind her head. Have you done any test on this and how much of an injury she could of had. I have never heard of any report on this.
