I was driving my car and fault something wrong with the steering and went to make a right turn I heard a noise and my car front passenger side of my car was on the ground and my wheel was under my car. Thank goodness for no one else being involved that day and thank God I wasn't hurt badly... I have never seen or have anything like that to happen to me... I'm glad my children wasn't with me... I'm glad I wasn't traveling down the road when that happened.....

SEATBELT LOCKS UP TO WHERE U CAN'T PUT IT ON BEFORE DRIVING OR WHEN DRIVING AND SEATBELT IS ON IT SOMETIMES LOCKS UP AND YOU CAN'T MOVE YOUR LOCKED IN PLACE WHILE DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING IF IT LOCKS UP IT CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE ON ANY ROAD OR FREEWAY IT'S MALFUNCTIONING AND IT'S ANNOYING ESPECIALLY WHEN U HAVE TO BE SOMEWHERE AND YOU CAN'T GET YOUR SEATBELT TO WORK MAKING ME DRIVE WITHOUT IT ON.. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR 4 YEARS AGO IT'S BEEN DOING THIS
