I did proceed to the mercuery dealer for seat belts, our right rear seat belt was on order for 10 months and Mercury dealer wouldn't do anything about it . I had problems with the front seal bealts not retrating and they would stick, I did follow up with a law suit and lost because they thought my seat belt wasn't a problem. The rear right was on order for almost 10 months and still nothing was done . In Nov 1998 I had knocking noise coming from my engine and the dealer ship there was nothing wrong. I complained about it a couple more times and nothing was done. Will June 2000 a new engine was put in because uptown could't find a problem. The most I want is to have Ford take this truck back and forget that lawsuit. Why should I pay for something that the retractor assembleys are not work . Its a saftey matter (dot number: vd tiresize: p225/75r75).

I don't know that if this is the right place I need to be, but my SUV has quite a bit of rust underneath and in the wheels, I can scratch some off with chipping coming off, I have met with the dealership and the Ford rep, they say I have surface rust and it won't rust threw the steel, in my life time, and I am unease about that, my seat belts have a smell to them and I feel like it has had some water damaged to it, but I do not feel safe in it, they have had to replace gaskets, oil pan, crankshaft rear seal, and rear main seal, and it is in the shop now for a poping sound. I need to know what I can do next to get this matter taken care of, I have never seen this much rust, can you please help me, and give me the right direction to go now. I thank you so much.
