Consumer Description

1. VEHICLE TAKES TO MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP ON 8/31/07 FOR SEAT BELT MALFUNCTION. SEAT BELT SELF-ARRESTING. MERCEDES BENZ INSPECTS AND DETERMINES "SEAT BELT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY". 2. VEHICLE IN A REAR COLLISION ON 9/25/07 AND SEAT BELTS DO NOT ARREST. DRIVER (SELF) HITS THE STEERING WHEEL AT RIGHT BROW AND LOWER BACK INJURY APPEARS WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF ACCIDENT. 3. SAFETY COMPLAINT REGISTERED WITH MERCEDES (AFTER MUCH PRESSURE). MERCEDES INSPECTS IN FRONT OF ME BY YANKING THE BELT AND SAYS THE SEAT BELT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE SEAT BELT DOES ARREST WHEN YANKED, BUT DID NOT ARREST WHEN REAR ENDED. 4. QUESTION: DOES MERCEDES HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO FURTHER INSPECT THE SAFETY OF THE SEAT BELT BESIDES "YANKING" IT IN FRONT OF ME? SHOULD THE SEAT BELT BE REPLACED? MERCEDES REFUSES TO GO ANY FURTHER AND MY STATUE OF LIMITATIONS - 2 YEARS IS ALMOST RUNNING OUT. HOW CAN I MAKE SURE I AM DRIVING A SAFE VEHICLE? *TR
