TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 GEO METRO. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE WHEN SHE DROVE OVER A BUMP. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE FRAME WAS CORRODED, AND THE TIRE COULD FALL AT ANY MOMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED; HOWEVER, THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OLD AND THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO A BODY SHOP FOR REPAIR. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 159,000.
#10191898 | SEAT BELTS:FRONT | | N/A miles 1 Injury
SEAT BELT USE FOR PEOPLE OVER SIX FEET TALL. I RECEIVED THROAT INJURIES FROM THE SEAT BELT JUST BY HITTING A BUMP. IF THIS OCCURRED DURING A MINOR ACCIDENT, I WOULD BE DEAD. THE CAR WAS A GEO METRO 1994. THIS ALSO HAPPEN DURING HARD BREAKING. I HAVE SOLD THE CAR BUT STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE SHOULDER BELT RAPPING AROUND MY NECK. I HAVE JUST RECEIVED A TICKET FOR WEARING THE SHOULDER STRAP UNDER MY ARM. THE SEAT BELT EXTENDER ARE A POOR DESIGN, AND WILL NOT WORK. I WOULD LIKE A LAW ALLOWING EVERYONE OVER SIX FEET TO BE ABLE TO WEAR A SEAT BELT UNDER THE ARM. DID YOU EVER DO A STUDY ON HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE KILLED BY BEING STRANGLED BY A SEAT BELT? *TR
