general problems of the 2000 Ford Mustang

Drivers side and passenger (front) seatbelts no longer operational. They do not retract and they do not lock in place -- this is a safety issue. We attempted to get them replaced, but our Ford dealer has confirmed the drivers side belt has been discontinued. We have no recourse here.

As many have said the pass. Side seat belt is jammed up, cannot be used. Even if you spend rime and completely straighten every thing out it works maybe once and jams up again. The complaints are legit. This car has 80,134 miles on it.

My car was parked in a parking lot. My friend took off his seat belt and as it was retracting, it locked. I tried to pull on it to see if it would unlock and it will not budge one bit. It is locked about half ways.

My 2000 Mustang gt overheated while I was driving back home, on a ten mile journey a couple days ago. Until this incident, my Mustang had never overheated. I bought the car last sept. I used hose water at gas station to cool it first on hood then once my engine looked cooler, I filled the radiator (thinking we'd flush the cooling system when I got it home) water emptied as fast as I poured it in, from intake manifold behind what looks like the thermostat housing. My car is my only transportation. Now I'm not sure what to do. Because I used all my money to buy this car. I can not afford to fix this. My situation appears identical to several on your site, such as this one I just copied from one of the complaints posted:oct 08, 2013 - lexington, SC - engine and engine cooling while driving vehicle, engine began to overheat. Steam rolled from under the hood. Discovered crack in manifold where it connects to thermostat housing. Coolant dripping on the engine; I do not know if internal components are damaged.

As I was pulling into a friend's drive way, my airbags just went off. The seat belts don't retract.

My passenger side seat belt does not work.

Front passenger seat belt retractor malfunctioned. The seat belt is now stuck and will not extract. It cannot be worn by a passenger. This is the exact failure recalled in NHTSA campaign id number: 99v250000. However, my car's VIN was not included in this recall.

Takata recall. The drivers side seat belt was replaced under warranty the first time, as it was failing to return to default position properly. The seat belt was replaced a second time, after I was rear ended (it was failing to retract again at the time, identical to the first time I had to have it replaced under warranty), and crushed into the vehicle in front of me. I was at a full stop when the vehicle hit me from behind. That crash deployed both airbags. The front and rear bumpers were replaced due to that crash, along with the seat belt. I have no way of knowing if those two replacement airbags were made by takata. The seat belt has again become "unsafe" due to it not retracting. I have no way of knowing if the seat belt will function properly if I'm involved in another accident! this leaves me with two questions: do I have takata airbags in this car, and, is this seat belt issue a known problem that has been recalled or at least has a TSB issued? this is an 18 year old car that I seldom drive, and have owned since brand new, but if I have two safety issues that Ford should be taking care of, I would like to know about it, so I can get the problems resolved. Is there any way for me to determine the I do or do not have takata airbags, since they were replaced by a Ford dealer (now called "auto nation Ford") here in frisco, texas. The date of the accident is an estimate.

The passenger side seatbelts in my 2000 Ford Mustang will not retract or pull out. I believe Ford had a recall on this issue for the 2000 Mustang but say that mine was not included.

The seat belt retractor may have a pin shaft in the switchable elr/alr mechanism that is incorrectly formed. In some circumstances, the switching mechanism could become nonfunctional, preventing the seat belt webbing from being extracted from the retractor. It is also possible that malfunction of the mechanism could prevent the belt from being switched into the alr mode. The elr mechanism is not affected by this condition.

The contact owns a 2000 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that the front passenger side seat belt failed. It will not extend more than three inches over occupants in the front seat. The Ford manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The dealer stated that the contact would have to pay for the repair. The failure mileage was 116,000.

Front seat belt retraction doesn't retract. It stopped retracting after the warranty was up. The front seat belt continue to non-retract so they get caught in the doors and chip paint and cause problems.

Passenger side seat belt will lock and it will not unlock, passenger is stuck inside of seat. Dealership is aware of problem.

I have a 2000 Ford Mustang, which has major seatbelt malfunction problems. I found the recall on your website and several auto websites NHTSA campaign id number: 99v250000. This recall is for 2000 Ford Mustangs, and the exact problem that we have been having with our seatbelts. But the dealer was suppose to replace the seatbelts, after verifying that they were malfunctioning, and now they will not.
