I skidded into the car in front of me with minimal force. There was no damage to the car I hit. There was minimal damage to my car, (small scratch on the front bumper and a headlight needed to be realigned) except both of the front air bags deployed and the front passenger seatbelt locked (there was no one in the passenger seat)..

My motor mounts went out while I was driving down the highway making the engine hop. My seatbelts are locking up so that you can not get the seat belts on. And my tires cord broke making the tire wavy and the steel belt was showing through. (dot number: E13 027430 tiresize: P195/60R15)

Seat belt latches broke, and will not hold seat belt. Since consumer had been paying for this vehicle could not count all problems that had been happening.
