Consumer Description

I WAS SLOWLY GOING ACROSS A PARKING LOT WHEN A LOUD BANG LIKE A GUN SHOT HAPPENED AND THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT PULLED ME TIGHT AGAINST THE SEAT. THERE WAS A SMELL OF A CHEMICAL GAS IN THE CAB AND THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS CAME ON. I AM SURELY GLAD I WAS ONLY GOING A FEW MILES AN HOUR. NOW THE SEAT BELTS (BOTH SIDES) ARE LOCKED TIGHT. I UNDERSTAND THIS MIGHT NOT BE THAT RARE OF A PROBLEM BUT IT'S THE FIRST I'VE EVER HEARD OF IT.
