2011 Ford Edge: seat belt won't latch or retract

Filed Mar 5, 2019 · Seat belts · 35,000 miles · KS

Passenger side seat belt locks in place while in motion regardless of whether the brake is pressed or not. Stays locked in place during long road trips until seat belt is disconnected and reconnected. This happens frequently (when I have a passenger) ever since I bought this vehicle 5 years ago. I am not sure if this is a safety issue??

Issue 1: the car continues to say that the door is not closed. I will open and reclose and it still does not clear the read error on the dash. It is the drivers door. I have done research online and this seems to be a common issue. The dome lights stay on until speeds of 12 MPH are reached and if backing up it will not turn off. The doors will not lock when inside due to the door ajar. Issue 2: this has been an ongoing issue- the air bag light will come on my car after driving for 20 minutes. This one is concerning to me because no one seems to know why it does it. I have contacted ford and they say to bring to local dealer. Local dealer tells me it is because I have weight on the passenger seat - this orange light will come on even when I do not have anything on the passenger seat or even when the seat belt on the passenger seat is buckled. I am scared that my airbags do not work when that is lit-- luckily I have not been in an accident yet to find out. But they do not want to figure out the issue without charging me an arm and leg to look into it to diagnose to start.

Tl*the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 60 MPH, a burning odor emitted inside of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who stated there was an electrical problem that originated from the fuse box. The failure caused the battery to fail. The battery was replaced on two separate occasions however, the failure persisted. In addition, the rear lift gate failed to release and opened independently. The front driver's side seat belt would not latch securely. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 61,000.

1) drive door ajar light in dash will not go out. Door will not properly shut. Extremely unsafe! Doors will not lock with this warning/light on as well as the lights inside vehicle stay on for an extended amount of time (up to 20 min) until they go to sleep. Which is draining the battery. 2) passenger seat belt locks up with the least bit of movement. So tight that it severely uncomfortable. To find comfort the seat belt has to constantly be unlatched and re latched while vehicle is in motion / driven. Unsafe! When researching the door ajar issue it has become very clear that ford has a major defect with this part that has been installed. This should not cost consumers over $500 out of pocket to repair or put their live in danger due to their neglect to repair their product that was defected when manufactured.

Rear seat center seat belt latch is in a location that is extremely hard to use and when the seat belt does get buckled, it is so uncomfortable that I have had people unbuckle. You actually sit right on the latch when it is buckled. There really should be a fix available so that the latch end of the center buckle can be moved out of the way of where you sit. I can't imagine how a person with a car seat would try to use this.
