Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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
