Front Seat Belt Retractor Problems of Ford Explorer Sport

I have 2 complaints one of which while looking online see that many other Ford owners also seem to have. This is a problem with the heater blend box door not working and blowing hot air when in the vent position. This seems to be a problem not only on explorer models but ranges, f150 and other Ford vehicles. The repair as stated online by others as well as from the dealer is over $1000. 00. It seems that there should have been a recall on this part with so many people having the same problem. Also the seat belts get stuck on our explorer it is the passenger side which sometimes takes 10 to 15 minutes before it will work.

I was in an automobile accident 12/2003 my seat belt did not restrain me, I was the passenger in my 1998 Ford Explorer Sport. The car ran into a telephone pole. At the time of impact both air bags went off. At impact I flew up from my seat, didn't touch the air bag but I hit the overhead console with my face. I broke the overhead console, rear view mirror, stereo, two air vents, and the counsel between the front seats. The results from my seat belt not working was 50 plus stitches to my forehead and nose, and a closed head injury. Now I am scared for life because my seat belt didn't restrain me and continues not to work.
