MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND MY SAFETY BELT DIDN'T KEEP ME FROM HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL HARD. UPON REVIEW OF MY SAFETY BELT, I NOTICED THAT IT IS ROUTED INCORRECTLY AT THE TOP HOLDER. IT BINDS ON ITSELF PREVENTING IT FROM RETRACTING. MY PASSENGER SIDE IS ROUTED CORRECTLY AND WORKS PERFECTLY. I SUFFERED A BRAIN INJURY BECAUSE OF THIS AND AM QUITE CONCERNED. *TR
