| Seat Belt problems |
On a brand new 2025 Ford Explorer the 2nd row seatbelt was never bolted in. The seatbelt was hooked into the bottom so at a glance it looked correctly installed. But after having to remove a car seat the plastic covering looked like it was detaching. After gently pulling the plastic covering came up and the metal bottom of the seatbelt came out. Brought it to a Ford dealer and they confirmed that there is no bolt holding the seatbelt in and there were no threads, meaning there was never a bolt.
