SEAT BELTS:FRONT
THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY VEERED TO THE RIGHT PULLING MY DAUGHTER OFF THE ROAD AND HEAD ON INTO A TELEPHONE POLE. THE POINT OF IMPACT WAS THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH SHE WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT AND THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPT WITH AN AIR BAG SHE STILL WAS THROWN HEAD FIRST INTO THE WINDSHIELD OF THE CAR. THE AIR BAG DID DEPLOY BUT DID NOT STOP HER. THE VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS.

NHTSA complaint #8023175 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
SEAT BELTS
PASSENGER SIDE RESTRAINT SYSTEM FAILED IN A WRECK AUG/95 AND WAS REPLACED. THE DRIVER SIDE RESTRAINT SYSTEM HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. AUTOMATIC SHOULDER BELT EITHER JAMS IN THE TRACK OR FAILS TO OPERATE. DEALER HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR OR REPLACE SYSTEM. I BELIEVE THE MAZDA MX6 WAS BUILT IN THE SAME PRODUCTION PLANT AS THE FORD PROBE. THE FORD PROBE HAS HAD A RECALL ON THE AUTOMATIC RESTRAINT SYSTEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM WE ARE EXPERIENCING ON OUR 1991 MAZDA MX6 NOW AND BACK IN 1995.
