SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
THE SEATBELTS (ALL 5 SEATBELTS) FAILED TO RESPONSD TO A FORCEFUL BREAK. I CONTACTED A DEALER IN CALIFORNIA YEARS AGO, BUT THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. MY QUESTION IS WHAT DOT CAN DO TO PROTECT US CUSTOMERS FROM IMPORTED CARS WHICH FAIL TO EQUIP PROPER SEATBELT SYSTEMS? AND TO WHOM THE CUSTOMER CAN CONTACT? BECAUSE I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT ACURA MANUFACTURE THRU THEIR WEB PAGE, BUT THEY PROVIDE NO FEEDBACK PORTION.*AK
