The caller said that while slowing down and when applying the brakes they went to the floor, and vehicle rolled through a stop light. This happened once and without warning. It resulted in an accident, and the vehicle was towed to a body shop after the insurance company approved it. Dealer and manufacturer have not been contacted yet. A police report was taken. The caller was injured.

October 28, 2004, motor vehicle accident, chain reaction 3 vehicle, I was at full stop with foot on brake. Vehicle behind me stopped, next vehicle did not stop, pushed vehicle behind me into and under the driver side rear of my vehicle. Bumper damage, truck bed twisted several inches, etc. My seat belt did not hold/catch or stop my forward movement. I was thrown into the steering wheel and then snapped back, injuring my head, neck, mid and low back, I had numbness and tingling bilateral lower extremities, and bilateral upper extremities. I also experienced severe muscle spasms neck and mid back. I hit the steering wheel hard. The air bag did not engage. Passenger seat belt engaged and protected my passenger. I was taken to an emergency hospital, C-spine/backboard, neck and back spasms, lots of pain, tingling bilateral arms and legs, etc. Now unable to work, unknown time due to neck and back injury. I am an er nurse. If my seat belt had held me, I would probably be at work right now and not writing this complaint. Your question of number of failures: The belt catches about 1 in 30 or more attempt to get it to hold/catch. I am awaiting a scheduled mri of my spine, and will be following up with a neurologist. The seat belt has not been repaired at yet and remains faulty.
