1994 ford escort. Consumer writes in regards to passive restraint shoulder belt not working for a couple of years. *tgw the consumer stated the seat belt would intermittently stop at mid-track and bouncing the door against the hinge would get it to move. Two weeks ago, it stopped in the middle of the track. The consumer stated she could hear the motor trying to make it move. She left it alone and about four days later, it resumed operating. A week later, it froze again, a little more forward in the track than previously.

Tl*- the contact owns a 1994 ford escort. The driver side seatbelt isn't working properly when the door is closed. The driver's side seatbelt is jammed. The contact's seatbelt is motorized and when you close the door it retracts half way and is stuck, it wont move left or right. Seatbelt will not secure him in place. Yesterday is the first and only time of this incident.

The 1994 ford escort is a very poorly made car. Most of these vehicles were manufactured with automatic seatbelts, the motors of which almost always fail. Ours was no exception. We had a manual seatbelt installed-- at our expense-- and today that manual seatbelt saved my husband's life in a rollover crash. Imagine if he had only had a lapbelt! Ford repeatedly denies that there is a problem, but for every 10 escorts I see that were made about the same time, 9 of them have at least one failed seatbelt. In addition, the airbag failed to deploy in a rollover crash going some 75 MPH. I can't say if my husband's injuries would have been less severe had the airbag gone off, but I do know that I will never buy a ford again.
