The seat belt will not click in place. I have to push the release button several times to get the seat belt to click in place. It will release with no problem. It seem like something either came loose or broke off

"takata recall" - service air bags warning just recently came up on my dashboard when driving. Passenger side seat belt sounds off, and flashes to fasten seat belt when there is no passenger is in the car, and the air bag panel flicks on and off consistently. When I open the drivers door, there a tapping like sound starts and continues for five to six seconds and then stops. When I push the heat and air levers, it stops. When I turn on the air or heat, it will make the tapping noise and stop after a short while. The noise seem to be getting louder. When the car is sitting in the heat or when in the car just sitting and the car not turned on, the same tapping noise will occur. The noise sounds like a wood pecker sound. It sound like it is located in the cooling system area, close by the dashboard area.

I was on my to work and a deer ran out in front of me. I of course like others swerved to miss the animal causing me to roll 3 and a half times side to side will wearing seatbelt. I received scratches on left side of face and struck steering wheel with my chest at the bottom of my sternum. Causing severe chest pain and slight pneumothorax to left lung and something had gotten behind me causing left buttock black bruising and bruising on my spine causing slight paralysis for quite some time. No airbag deployment happened and I have pictures of all this including pictures of airbag compartments busted open and sensors showing that was suppose to deploy them. I had to be extricated from car and flown by helicopter to trauma center. Seatbelt held at waist but did not lock at top holding me still at all. I still have pain in mid sternum area. This car was very unsafe in my opinion and I will never own another. I believe if airbags had deployed and seatbelt held I would never had received these injuries. Car was insured and in some junk yard now somewhere. Please do give me a call if you would like pictures of all this and give me some advice. Would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
