Description of the problem	After applying brakes on rainslick road vehicle hydroplaned into the rearend of a pickup. I hit the steering wheel twice before the seatbelt 'caught'.... 2 broken teeth, brain trauma & concussion, mangled spine/surgery pending. First accident. No one will claim liability for the seatbelt not working and the airbag has been treated as a non-issue. My jeep has been 'repaired' sans seatbelt.... Daimler-chrysler investigation pending. All i asked, in the beginning, was for my seatbelt to be replaced... Not too much to ask.... Now i will fight as my quality of life has been compromised permanently and i should not have to argue over a defective seatbelt being replaced... At the very least! I am severely injured and quite frankly am angry, now, that i have to fight for what is 'right'. Please feel free to contact me at any time as my life is now homebased with the exception of numerous doctor visits.*ak
