NHTSA Complaint #10704204 — 2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX

MY MOTHER WAS KILLED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION IN A 2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. SHE WAS TRAVELING SOUTH BOUND ON A STREET CALLED HEWITT WHEN HER LEFT THE LANE FOR NO KNOWN REASON AND HIT A CAR TRAVELING NORTH BOUND HEAD ON DYING WITH IN SECONDS OF THE ACCIDENT. THE POLICE DID NOT KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENED . THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS FROM BRAKING NOR GOUGES NOR ANYTHING THAT SHOWED SHE TRIED TO BRAKE OR AVOID HITTING THIS CAR. I HAD JUST TALKED TO HER 20MIN BEFORE HER DEATH. HER LEFT LEG WAS BROKE AS IF SHE HAD APPLIED GREAT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES AND HER STEERING WHEEL WAS IN A LOCKED POSITION CAUSING HER RIGHT ARM TO BREAK. THERE IS NO KNOWN REASON WHY HER SEAT BELT GAVE AWAY BECAUSE SHE WAS KNOWN TO WEAR HER SEATBELT AT ALL TIMES I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER A YEAR LATER ABOUT THIS VEHICLE BUT IT WAS TO LATE. MY MOTHER HAD AN EXCELLENT DRIVING RECORD. THIS HAS BEEN A TREMENDOUS LOSS! *TR
