2016 Mitsubishi OUTLANDER - SEAT BELTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, and AIR BAGS Failure Complaint (#afdcbb)

2016 Mitsubishi OUTLANDER

  • Date of Incident: May-16, 2023
  • Date complaint filed: Jun-04, 2023
  • Failed components: SEAT BELTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, and AIR BAGS

I have had multiple issues with this suv. The main issue i am writing this for is because the car was hit stopped at a red light by another car going over 40 mph. The car rolled back then slammed into my car again going just as fast. The airbags did not deploy and the seatbelts did not lock. The impact actually broke the seats the passenger and i were sitting in. There were extensive injuries that happened because of this. The suv was deemed a total loss because of the extensive damage done to the car. There were no warning messages, no recalls, etc. The suv was inspected by a mechanic and insurance company and both said that the airbags should have gone off and the seatbelts should have locked based on the amount of damage to the suv. I also took this suv into the mitsubishi dealership for all services/maintenance and nothing ever came up about any issues.
