NHTSA complaint: 2006 PONTIAC G6 — SEAT BELTS
MR. DID EVASIVE MANUEVERS AT 65 MPH TO AVOID DEADLY COLLISION WITH FULLY LOADED SENIOR CITIZEN VAN BY A DRIVER WITH A CELL PHONE. STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY LOOSE, BRAKES PEDALS WERE VERY EASILY DEPRESSED, NONE OF THE FRONT AIR-BAGS DEPLOYED AND CAR SEATS DID NOT LOCK. MR. HIT MEDIAN CONCRETE AT 60 MPH. AMBULANCE AND EMERGENCY ROOM DICTATED, "YOU ALL VERY LUCKY TO HAVE SURVIVED." 3RD PARTY ADMINISTRATOR(ESIS) COUNTER CLAIMS MR.. THAT BECAUSE MR. COLLIDED WITH MEDIAN SIDEWAYS THE AIR-BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MR. ARGUES THAT FRONT DRIVER PORTION OF CAR HIT MEDIAN FIRST, AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AND SEAT BELTS SHOULD HAVE LOCKED. 3RD PARTY ADMINISTRATOR COUNTERS. BECAUSE THERE IS NO PROOF WE CANNOT CLAIM SUCH FACT. SHE (3RD PARTY) IS INSISTING ON US TO SIGN MEDICAL RELEASE FORMS AND SUBMIT PICTURES OF CAR. MR. HAS ADVISED THAT CAR IS REPAIRED AND HAS BEEN SOLD. CONFUSION ARISES WHEN DEALER AGREES THAT CAR HAS SENSORS AND COLLISION SHOP DID NOT INDICATE ANY SENSORS. MR. IS CONFUSED WHETHER STABILI-TRAK OR SOME OTHER SYSTEMS SHOULD BE IN PLACE TO HAVE PREVENTED THE COLLISION WITH MEDIAN AND UNDER THE TIRE SENSORS SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN PLACE. IF ANY SYSTEM (STABILI-TRAK OR OTHER) WERE IN PLACE, THE WHOLE ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED.
