ON 12/08/1998 MY FATHER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF HIS LIFE. HE WAS HIT ON THE DIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE BY A SEMI-TRUCK AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH. THE POLICE INDICATED IN THERE REPORT THAT WHEN THEY ARRIVED ON THE SCENE THAT MY DAD WAS NOT WEARING HIS SEAT BELT. MY DAD ALWAYS WORE HIS SEAT BELT HE WOULD NOT EVEN LET SOMEONE RIDE WITH HIM WITHOUT THEM WAREING THEIR SEAT BELT. LOOKING AT THE WREAKAGE I NOTICE THAT THE ARM REST WAS DOWN AND THAT THE SEAT BELT LATCH WAS UNDER THE ARM REST. MY QUESTION: HAS IT BEEN TESTED AND/OR IS IT POSSIBLE FOR THE BELT TO BECOME DISCONNECTED DURING A SIDE IMPACT CRASH?

REAR-ENDED AN SUV GOING APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MPH, TOTALING BOTH VEHICLES AND CAUSING CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF MY TAURUS. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED LAST JULY. IN OCTOBER I NOTICED THAT WHEN I TOOK A LEFT HAND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD STICK AND I WOULD HAVE TO PULL IT TO GET IT STRAIGHT. I TOOK IT TO BE FIXED BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THEN. THREE DAYS AGO I TOOK MY KIDS OUT FOR ICE CREAM AND WE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS TIME THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED COMPLETELY, I COULD NOT MOVE IT AND WE SLAMMED INTO ANOTHER CAR. NOBODY BELIEVED ME, IT TOOK ALOT OF SEARCHING TO FIND OUT THAT IT WAS THE BUSHINGS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. ALTHOUGH I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IT HAS GIVEN ME NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. *TR

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT TWO WEEKS AGO. I HIT A TREE IN THE FRONT OF MY CAR AND THEN FLIPPED IT ON ITS SIDE THE AIR BAGS DINT GO OFF WHEN I FIRST HIT THE TREE.
