The plaintiffs said the seatbelt's design was defective because it allowed the release of four inches of slack during a collision, causing Amagasu to strike his head on the car roof.Jurors began hearing evidence on Oct. 20. They deliberated briefly on Oct. 27 before returning their verdict. "Mitsubishi Motors vehicles are and have been among the safest on the road, having won multiple safety awards to attest to that fact," it added.
"The evidence regarding the defective nature of this seatbelt was overwhelming, and not something that the average consumer would ever know about," Farrar added.Canadian Tire told a Winnipeg student the used SUV she was about to buy was safe to drive — but she quickly learned it had major problems.Toyota, Honda, BMW, Jaguar and Ferrari are among the car makers with vehicles recalled last week.
