The drivers side shoulder belt first locked up, then it pulled all the way out and will not retract. I took the vehicle to the dealer, but they did not take the rear door apart to see what caused the trouble. My children received a phone call in early July that the part would be in around 23 July. To this date, Aug 7, I have not received a call yet. I have called to local Ford dealers to find even an off color belt, but none are to be had. I fell unsecure, and even guilty driving this vehicle without a seatbelt since it is a law in this state, and I have to drive on an army post which is the law there also. I have also tried everthing I can to get this fixed. I even took the door apart to see if the mechanism could be fixed (which was more than what they did at the dealer), but it is un-repairable. (I have 20+years experience as an army mechanic) I would have even tried to switch the belt with the passenger side, but it will not work (the truck is a 4-door and will not swap out). Thanks for your time.

Seat belt does not restrain. Dealer says it is not designed to restrain so occupants can reach for coffee, etc.

When unlatching shoulder belt it will not retract into retractor. This retractor has been replaced 5 times by dealer.

Because the seat belt is mounted to the door frame, when a passenger is belted in the jump seat, passenger's side door is open, the seat belt tightens and pins the passenger into the seat. The problem was reported to the manufacturer. Nothing was done to correct the problem. Please provide any further details.

Seatbelt will not retract or tighten up. I took truck to dealer 08-06-99, dealer said seatbelt retractor was broken, they would have to order. 08-18, still no word from dealer so I called. They said part on back order from Ford. I asked what I was suppose to dosince I was going on vacation. They said it was Ford's problem. They also would not give me the name of the regional contact for Ford, so I contacted Ford customer service. They also verified the part was on back order, but did not know when part would be supplied to dealer as Ford did not manufacture part. They said it would be at least the middle of September. I asked if Ford would be liable if something happened. She said she could not answer that, but she would put my question in the message to the Ford division manager. The call ended.

The front center 2 point seat belt will not remain in the fully adjusted position during normal operation of the vehicle. Our grandchildren (mostly 4 and 10 year old boys) will sit in the front center seat and fasten the 2 point seat belt about them; adjust it to the proper length; during travel the child moves about the seat slightly; during this normal movement the seatbelt adjustment will loosen on its own. Should an accident occur, the child is not restrained by the seatbelt because of the "self adjusting effect". This condition was reported to the car dealer (don vance), they replaced the seatbelt, and the new seatbelt had the same effect. I reported this condition to Ford motor company. A woman contacted me about this. I explained the aforementioned to her. Nothing further was done. Children are in jeopardy.
