Seatbelts: the motorized seat belt stick in the track, usually half way between open & close. Now they will not operate at all. I took one apart & the plastic covering the cable is deteriorating & causing the cable to stick. This is a safety issue that needs your attention immediately. You can have my seatbelt assemble for inspection, as I will have to purchase a new one for my spouse's safety. Fuel: this car was not covered under the recall #92s54, as the produduction date was too early, but it has the identical problem. I have already corrected this problem with a new fuel pump assembly. You may have access to this part for your inspection as well. Last but not least: headlight: cloudy, yellow, and do not allow light on the road. Very hazardous. I have noticed this is typical on a lot of different ford cars & trucks. I have purchased a set from the local wrecking yard, but do not have the headlight for you to inspect. I threw them away.
