Takata recall-2nd row passenger seat belt is locked up. My grandkids ride in this area and I desperately need to get this repaired and wanted to know if this is an issue with anyone else.

The unit has issues with the seat belts. I called the dealer but they said that they don't have any recall campaign regarding this issue, and no guaranty can be apply.

3 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 06/19/2010

I have a 2006 Ford Explorer bought for the amount of seats. After purchased realized one seat buckle was broken and just today another broke. I buckled my child's car seat, got on the road and it was unbuckled. Tried to rebuckle it and the buckle would not hold. Total safety issue!!.

4 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2008

My daughter got tangled in the seatbelt. Normally that would not be a problem but she had pulled the seat belt all the way out and activated the locking mechanism. It was very tight around her waist and I could not get her free from the seat belt. I had to cut it in order to free her. I have had to take her to the doctor because of some injury to her. I feel there should be some kind of release on the seatbelt lock. I am so thankful she was not hurt any worse than she was. I cannot believe it is going to cost me so much to replace a seat belt that I had no choice but to cut. I hope to see something done about seatbelts so no one has to go through this.
