I was at work in a 2017 Jeep Patriot company vehicle. I am a field worker and was traveling North on schaefer hwy to a clients home. I was T-boned at the cross section of schaefer and schoolcraft when another vehicle driving East on schoolcraft ran a red light- hitting me in the driver door, after hitting the driver door, turning his/her wheels and digging into the vehicle by my feet, breaking the left front wheel off the Jeep. The seat belt seemed to tighten to the point I could not breathe, I felt a flushing in my rib cage, rupturing right implant, tearing both shoulders and neck, low left back excruciating pain- L5 angular tear, cervical spine compromised every disc same with lumbar and thoracic spine si joint needed surgery, and right hip hit driving log so hard clip board was broke in half, broke right heel 2A fracture head to talus and complete full tear of ligament, right knee pain hands locking up.

When a person sits down and buckles up on the front passenger seat the seat belt sensor chimes. It doesn't matter if the engine is off/on or in motion when the seat belt is buckled the seat belt chime will go activate. The passenger seat belt sensor is malfunctioning. The seat belt signal goes off randomly when a passenger is riding while wearing the seat belt.

While driving home from wok in a Jeep Patriot 2017 on a city street the brakes would not work suddenly and the speed increased rapidly uncontrollably. Two vehicles hit me going thru an intersection and the Jeep Patriot vehicle ran into a warehouse going thru 2 metal doors and a brick wall without any air bags deploying. The Jeep Patriot completely went into the warehouse and was stopped by hitting a large pillar.
