This is a supplement to the earlier filed report. The brakes on this Kia Soul did not appear to be working, no matter how hard I pressed on it. Further, I flew forward in this accident, causing me to hit my head. It was like the seatbelt was not working at all. I had to be checked for a potential concussion at the local hospital.

This vehicle is currently at Lunsford's towing, and will be moved to another location. Potentially this could be my new residence at [XXX], but I would like to have contact/see if this has any issues first. There were two components of this accident: 1) a multi-vehicle collision, and a single vehicle collision between the Kia and a tree. I do not believe that these potential issues had much to do with the first component. However, I kept going after this accident, and had a large mark on my head. I am unsure about what my head hit, but my seatbelt may have failed to restrain me. Further, there was little braking before the first component of this, but there seemed to be little significant slowdown after the first part.

The contact owns a 2015 Kia Soul. The contact stated that while her son was driving at 30 MPH, after becoming briefly distracted, the vehicle ahead dramatically reduced speeds, and as a result, he collided with the rear of that vehicle. After this, the seat belt failed to restrain him, and he hit his head on the windshield, causing him to lose consciousness. The force of the impact forced the vehicle off the road and into a ditch, where it came to rest after colliding with a tree, at which point the air bags deployed. No warning lights were illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard, where it remains. A police report was filed, and injuries were reported.

I hired this car from thrifty rental cars, and was in a collision on the I80 freeway, wherein I hit the vehicle in front during stop-start traffic, I was travelling way below the speed limit. The seat belt did not hold me in place, and I flew forward over the steering wheel, and hit the windscreen. I suffered mild concussion, whiplash, and bruising down the front of my body. I may have also permanently damaged my neck. I have reported this incident to thrifty, but they are refusing to take any action.

After buckling the seat belt on the front passenger seat and going down the road if you try to lean forward one finds that the seat belt is locked and will not permit any movement you have to release the seat belt and then return it to its parked position and then pull it back out again. Once that has been done you can move forward or pull on the belt only once before it locks up again. I feel very unsafe when the seat belt does this because I feel that in a serious accident one might not be able to release the seat belt if there was a lot of tension on the belt from its own tightening. One should be free to lean forward to open the glove compartment or turn to attend to matters in the back seats. I have actually simulated a scenario where there was extreme tension on the belt from pushing back in my seat and tightening the belt by pushing the belt back up over my shoulder and when I tried to release the belt it was so hard to press the release button that I had to ask my wife to get a rubber mallet and a long screwdriver so that I could hit the release button with the screw driver against the release button. It finally di disengage. I told my wife to go to the dealer and tell them to fix it and she was told there was nothing wrong with it. We had a 2013 Kia Soul and the seat belts did the same thing. I find this situation to be extremely unsafe and in certain situations this problem could be the root cause of fatalities.I have mentioned this to the dealer in regard to the 2015 and they said they checked it and it works fine.it does not work fine by any standard. I think the dealer/Kia know there's a problem but need to be told to fix it. At best this is a major nuisance and at worst it is a death trap from which without a knife one cannot escape.
