I AM AN EMPLOYEE OF MITSUBISHI MOTORS MANUFACTURING OF AMERICA (MMMA). ON OCTOBER 4, 2001 I WAS INJURED AT WORK. I WAS HIT IN THE HEAD BY THE SEAT BELT GUIDE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER (RIGHT) SEAT OF A 2002 MITSUBISHI SPYDER CONVERTIBLE. THE SEAT HIT ME WITH CONSIDERABLE FORCE CAUSING A MILD CONCUSSION. I DID NOT BLACK OUT AT THE TIME OF THE INJURY. HOWEVER, I EXPERIENCED BLURRED VISION (WHICH CONTINUED FOR A FEW DAYS), NECK PAIN, BACK PAIN AND SEVERE HEAD PAIN. A FEW WEEKS AFTER THE ACCIDENT I STARTED HAVING "SPELLS" AS MY NEUROLOGIST CALLS THEM. I WAS GIVEN A PRESCRIPTION FOR ANTI-SEIZURE MEDICATIONS. MY NEUROLOGIST RESTRICTED ME FROM DRIVING FOR 5 MONTHS. ANYWAY, MY CONCERN IS IF THIS CAN HAPPEN TO AN EMPLOYEE WHO WORKS IN THE PLANT, IT CAN HAPPEN TO A CONSUMER. AND IF ONE OF THESE SEATS WERE TO HIT A CHILD WITH THE FORCE IT HIT ME IT COULD BE FATAL. I CAN'T IDENTIFY THE EXACT VEHICLE THAT CAUSED MY INJURY. I CAN TELL YOU THE DATE AND THE APPROXIMATE TIME. IF YOU FEEL THIS IS WORTH INVESTIGATING PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME.*AK

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
