There is a problem with the seatbelt latch. My 9 year old was putting on the seatbelt when the internal parts of the seatbelt latch came out of the housing. The internal parts came out intact. If I had been in an accident the seatbelt would have failed. This is a serious safety issue and ford and their respective dealers feel it also is a serious problem since rather than focusing on anything else, all three calls I recieved, one from ford motor company and two from recomended dealers all focus on the seatbelt. No mention is made of the other problems (until I bring it up), but they want to replace the seatbelt immediatly.
