7 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 05/14/2013

The seat belt randomly comes unfastened. At first I thought I wasn't buckling it properly but have since begun yanking on it to make sure it was buckled each time I drive it. It just releases on its own, whether I am going 10-20 miles per hour or freeway speed. It is happening more often, sometimes several times each trip.

Failure Date: 02/01/2013

While driving down the road my wifes seatbelt became unbuckled. Then, on 2/27/2013 when I put my vehicle into reverse, my seatbelt came unbuckled. For both seats to become unbuckled with no external influence convinces me we are not safe in our 2002 Ford Expedition.

10 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 11/28/2011

We were rear ended while sitting at a redlight. The impact was hard enough to launch the 6000 lb Expedition 20-30 feet into the intersection. 2 out of 5 seat belts opened up and those 2 occupants went flying around in the car. Thank god it was not a head on collision. I never retested or checked the seatbelts and the vehicle was totalled and sent to a salvage yard in nc by travelers insurance. Injuries were whip lash, strained necks and cervical compression and concussions.
