CrashFiled: Mar 2026

During a crash, your seatbelt system malfunctioned by detaching and pulling with excessive force instead of properly restraining you, causing severe injuries. The airbags also failed to deploy during the collision. You're reporting this as a potential safety defect because the seatbelt and airbag systems are critical for crash protection. An investigation into the restraint system and airbag deployment mechanism may be needed to identify why these safety systems failed.
