3 Front Seat Belt problem of the 1997 Ford Explorer

Failure Date: 11/01/2007

I own a 1997 Ford Explorer awd 5. 0 liter. The seat belt latch on the driver's side no longer holds the seat belt in place after I buckle up. In order to drive, I have to insert the seat belt into the latch on the passenger's side. When I do this the seat belt now crosses my neck, and I am very concerned. It also means I cannot safely drive the auto with a passenger because the driver's side seat belt won't work. On a normal latch, I can push down the red release button and can feel the spring action. On my driver's side, there is no spring tension on the red release button.

5 Front Seat Belt problem of the 2002 Ford Explorer

Failure Date: 10/03/2005

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer. My airbag warning light notified me of a problem. When I took the car into the dealership, they said that "both front seat belt pretensioners" needed to be replaced. I just find it odd that they would both happen to break at the same time. It sounds more like defective parts.

6 Front Seat Belt problem of the 2003 Ford Explorer

Failure Date: 06/23/2005

My 2003 Ford Explorer has had an ongoing problem with seatbelts and the remote entry. This has been going on since we bought the vehicle. Ford refuses to address the problems. The seatbelts do not retract properly and they cut into the plastic. I am afraid that these seatbelts are defective and I worry that they will not work in a crash. The dealership has replaced these seatbelts but the problem is still there. The remote entry does not work all of the time. It does not allow you to lock and unlock the doors. The dealership told us to replace the batteries which we did but that was not the problem. They refuse to replace the remotes.
