Your car was rear-ended at about 30 mph while stopped in traffic. You and your son were both wearing seat belts, but the seat belts didn't lock or restrain you properly during the collision, resulting in serious injuries including concussion, whiplash, and neck/shoulder/back injuries that required physical therapy. The failure of the seat belts to function as designed left you and your son without proper protection despite being buckled in. A seat belt system inspection and potential replacement of the seat belt pretensioners or retractor mechanisms may be needed.

NHTSA #: 11000131
