Front Seat Belt Buckle Assembly problems of the 1999 Ford Explorer

The vehicle slid on black ice and the consumer lost control of the vehicle. This caused a collision with another vehicle and the vehicle rolled over two times. The driver's seat belt came unbuckled and caused the driver to be thrown from the seat. Nlm.

There is a problem with the seatbelt latch. My 9 year old was putting on the seatbelt when the internal parts of the seatbelt latch came out of the housing. The internal parts came out intact. If I had been in an accident the seatbelt would have failed. This is a serious safety issue and Ford and their respective dealers feel it also is a serious problem since rather than focusing on anything else, all three calls I recieved, one from Ford motor company and two from recomended dealers all focus on the seatbelt. No mention is made of the other problems (until I bring it up), but they want to replace the seatbelt immediatly.

The driver's seat belt fails to latch properly. The locking mechanism broke. The latch plate will not stay in buckle. Was entering the vehicle at time of failure. Taking vehicle to dealer to check.

Seat belt latch on rear driver's side will not go into buclkle. Dealer and manufacturer were not notified at this time.

Driver's side seat belts broke.
