| Seat Belt problems |
We have 3 diono 3qxt car seats in our 2023 Bronco back seat. I noticed today that two of the car seat's vehicle seatbelts were unlatched. The middle car seat and the passenger-side car seat were loose because the securing seatbelt in the Bronco was unlatched. My concern is that one of the car seats activated the seat belt release button in the Bronco. I will monitor my car seats to see if the issue occurs again, but I thought it was important enough to report, in case there are any other similar complaints regarding either the diono car seat or the Ford Bronco's rear seatbelts.
After avis Ford replaced my seatbelt on the driver’s side, my vehicle began to rattle from underneath the same area and in the front. The seatbelt side was serviced twice, and now the car feels unsafe. The dealership refused to re-inspect and told me to fix it out of pocket. I’m concerned this may be a structural or safety-related defect caused by improper repair.
There is an open recall from Ford for almost 2 months and they dont have the remedy to close the recall. I dont feel secure to drive the car and the manufacturer to fix the identified problem on priority basis.

I ask that Ford be immediately compelled to issue guidance o confirming completion of manufacturer recall number: 23c16 / NHTSA recall number: 23v358 for vehicles produced but held by dealers pending completion of this recall. Nearly three years ago I reserved a 2021 Bronco from Ford, after multiple model year changes and re-orders, I am still without the vehicle I eagerly anticipated. Despite this, I have been patient. My vehicle finally entered production on 4/26/23 and sat in this status until 6/27/23. Miraculously, after entering a built status on 6/29/23, it was delivered to the dealer on 7/9/23. I thought my wait was over. Sadly this was not the case, as a recall requiring two inexpensive plastic clips be installed on the rear seatbelts, originally announced in may was finally issued six weeks later on July 5th. Despite the fact that this recall did not affect vehicles built after may 9th, and it appears my Bronco was shipped with the recall being completed, but not marked as such in oasis by the factory. This would seem to be a swift matter for the dealer to address, however, it has come to my attention that Ford may be unable to supply a relatively simple fix to dealers until q4 and has not yet formalized a remedy to be implement at the dealer level depsite having implemented the correction at the factory, and this delay has put me in an untenable situation. On July 10th, I completed all purchase paperwork, and made payment in full. My vehicle is registered and insured in my name. The fix, as evidenced by the attached photos, was implemented at the factory. Despite this, my VIN is subject to a stop sale with no time horizon on correction of this bureaucratic oversight. Ford and NHTSA must take action now to permit me to take possession of a vehicle that meets all safety requirements and is currently losing value while sitting on a lot.
