The passive seat restraint does not retract fully. This occurs when you turn the vehicle off. It has to be manually disconnected. When turning the vehicle on it hesitates before retracting to drivers body. The car is stationary when this occurs.

The / or one of the guide cables comes out of the track casing and the lock refuses to shuttle. The motor does a click-click ..... Click-click and the lock tries to shuttle but does not.

The seat belt on the driver side is stuck in the open position, which gets in the way of the wheel and provides no safety support were I to get in a crash. Also the passenger sides seat belt often goes wild and continuously opens and closes on the passengers neck when trying to exit the vehicle. I can not afford to cover the costs of this repair and feel that ford should do so considering it puts the driver in great danger.

The motorized retracting shoulder belt for the driver's safety belt ceased working and is stuck in the non-locked position as if the driver is getting in or out of the car. An emergency crank is provided to manually move the belt along the track but it will not move. The motor for the belt drive seems to be ok but the cable in the track seems to be stuck. An estimate for the repair is $600.00 and the motor and cable track is over $400.00.

Dt*: the contact stated the passive restraints stop at the corner of the door post and do not properly restrain the driver or passenger. There is a gap of six inches between the safety belts and door post. A replacement track for the safety belt will be obtained through a salvage yard to repair the vehicle. The contact, who is a mechanic, has seen many of the 1991 through 1996 escorts with the same problem. Because the passive restraint is no longer being manufactured, the contact feels the manufacturer should replace these passive restraints with regular safety belts.
