general problems of the 2002 Ford Mustang

I recently was traveling on the interstate late after work on interstate 10 at 60 mph when I was struck from behind at a high rate of speed which caused the car to spin out of control , hit a guard rail and thrown into onto oncoming traffic. As stated in police report. Both front and rear of the car sustained severe damage however none of the airbags deployed causing facial trauma seatbelts failed, as it did not hold my 100 lb body in place. Causing injury. From being thrown all over the car causing loss of conciousnous. Back driver side wheel and hub was torn off from impact and axle was broke. Car had 96 k miles and well maintained. And cared for. However this car has faulty airbags, seatbelts, among other issues that CA result in a human life!.

There was a vehicle in front of me. Both vehicles were traveling at the same speed. The car in front of me anchored the brakes. I was 3 car length behind. Th abs failed and did not allow the brakes to resume. We hit the back end of the car in front at 35mph. The passenger seatbelt broke ending my fiancã©e head into the windshield. The airbags did not deploy car was totaled and the Toyota did not have a scratch: myself and my girl are both injured. I purchased this car 5/14. I believe there may not be airbags and I also think this car escaped having to have a salvage title. We are upset to say the least. As it is one thing but to put a consumers life at risk is another. This is the second car from this dealer since March 2014 that we had been given a death trap.

Passenger side seat belt has always been slow to retract. Now it will not release at all. Dealer refuses to fix or replace as a defect. Will charge over $500 to fix. The vehicle has never been in an accident, has been taken care of, and has not been abused as the car has less than 83k miles. I thought seat belts were guaranteed for the life a vehicle!.

The contact owns a 2002 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that the passenger side seat belt retractor was jammed. The seat belt would not move and the contact felt that it was a safety issue that the manufacturer should repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was not notified. The manufacturer was notified and stated that there were no known similar failures. The failure mileage was 50,000.

Rear passenger seatbelt does not retract; unusable.

We have had a 2002 Ford Mustang for one year. The passenger seat belt will not function properly. It will not come out all the way making it useless. I had the dealership look at it. It was fixed for approximately a week. It is now unusable again. From my search on this issue there seems to be a lot of complaints about it. Why should I pay for a new assembly for something that occurs frequently with similar cars and is not being taken care of by Ford.

2002 Mustang seatbelts do not function properly, will not retract, and can not pull out. That means that it can not be used. I have talked to may people that have told me this is a common problem with the Mustang. Any info would be helpful.

My Ford Mustangs seatbelts do not and have not worked properly since I have owned the car; they will not retract properly and hang up, I am constantly having mess with them so they can be used. I have owned four other Mustangs (fox and sn95 cars) and three had similar problems, I also have a friend with a 2001 Mustang cobra which also has defective seatbelts. I purchased my car several years ago and it only had 36,000 miles on it, the car had been garage kept and babied as I have done also. My car currently has 70,000 miles on it. I believe the faulty seatbelts in my Mustang and my friends cobra could cause serious injury or death to an occupant if involved in a collision. This problem is often mentioned on Ford Mustang forums and I have questioned my dealer where my car is regularly service (mathews Ford, in newark, ohio). This past winter while driving the car I had a deer run out in front of me, I pushed the brakes to the floor which caused my girlfriend to almost hit the dash because her seatbelt did not operate properly. I am asking that the Ford motor company replace this serious safety issue in my Ford Mustang, both seatbelts are faulty with the passenger belt being the worse. I have owned many cars in my life and never had faulty belts like Ford Mustangs seem to have. I believe a reputable manufacture like Ford motor company should remedy the situation and not allow myself or my passengers to risk bodily injury or death because of a malfunction on my seatbelts. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Seatbelt retractors do not retract or release safety belts. Belts constantly become twisted and will not retract properly; or they get jammed and will not release so it can be buckled.

I have replaced driver side and passenger side seat belts 2 time and they need it again they stop retracting. My driver side window will not work it the sun shines on that side of car. Headlights had to be replaced because they were so foggy you couldnt see when lights were on.

The passenger seat belt does not come out or retract. It stuck in a half way out position. It cannot be used. It has been replace twice only to go back the exact same way and is not safe to use. The cost is over $400. 00 to fix if you find the part.
