Description of the problem | While driving 65 mph i braked hard to miss a dear on the highway and my sons seatbelt in the rear left failed to lock and he flew forward into my seat (drivers) and my seat doesnt lock down therefore i was flung into the steering wheel at 65 mph and lost control... My sons was hurt and we all couldve been killed. The flip flop non locking driver seats need to be recalled! This is extremely dangersous and with the rear passengers weight and the seat pushing on the driver there is no way to operate the car therefore i could have hit another car and killed everyone! Please investigate!*ak |
