Consumer was involved in an accident. Consumers head went into the windshield and cracked the glass. This happened because the belt restraint did not sufficiently hold consumer and the air bags did not deploy. Consumer suffered a concussion as a result of the accident.

This vehicle was involved in a front end collision causing $6500 in damages. Both air bags failed to deploy. I was told by the dealership manager that nothing could be done about the problem. I refused to make further payment on the vehicle, and voluntarily surrendered same to Mitsubishi motors credit of America, po box 6044, cypress, ca 90630-6044. All parties were notified of the dangerous condition of the vehicle, yet on June 12, 2001, the vehicle was irresponsibly sold by mitsubushi credit for $9,100. Whoever now owns the vehicle is in grave danger to the driver and passenger should a collision occur.
