Passenger seat belt had stuck in the partially retracted position. It won't come out and it won't go back. It had given some problems before, but I think they were related to pulling it out too far and the child adjustment feature kept tightening the belt. I have not been able to get it to come loose, nor have I had the time to go to the dealer.

Dt*: the contact stated the front driver side seat belts always had problems since the vehicle was purchased, at only 13000 miles. The driver side seat belt buckle would only lock after several attempts. Eventually, a piece in the seat belt connector fractured and the belt will not latch at all. The belt and latch are free of other dirt and contaminants. There were no pictures or invoice available.
Passenger front seat belt fails to lock or comes unlocked after clicked.
My son was in an accident 2 days ago and his air bags did not deploy. He center punched a lamp pole and totaled his truck. 2004 ford f150. He has major whip lash, and hopefully that's all, but I believe it's because he had his seat belt on and it did it's job. Had the airbag deployed, it might have stopped him from being thrown as hard.
Dt: was driving to work wearing seat belt and heard a click or pop from the seat belt near the shoulder of where the belt came out. Consumer thought it sounded mechanical in nature. Pulled at seat belt, there was no locking. After taking off seat belt, the seat belt did not retract. No repairs. Called 2 dealers, and they were of no help, but suggested to bring the vehicle to shop after the weekend for repairs. Had not contacted ford customer service at this time but consumer planned to do so.
Tailgate straps are the same length, but when you put pressure on the tailgate, only the lh tailgate strap supports the tailgate. The truck has vibration and steering wheel nibble problems. They have balanced the tires 4 times, replaced the tires. The fse from ford took the vehicle for a ride and said it needs a new driveshaft. The brake dust is a big problem. You need to wash the wheels daily. Ford now has updated pads. I hope they replace them under warranty. Two of the rotors are also grooved. The truck has 3000 miles on it. It has been in 5+ times now! The AC unit only had 22 ounces of fliud in it. It is supposed to have 30+. My air was verified to be 8-10 degrees warmer than spec. The gas door (spring) broke. The paint on the hood is flawed. It didn't get fully sprayed on the right front of the hood. Both sides of the rear diff. Are wet. Something is leaking. The seatbelt stitching is coming apart.
Shoulder harness on seat belts causing problems, excessive pressure on shoulder. Seat belt is attached to the back of the seat and comes from approximately 4" below the shoulder from the rear and over. Contacted ford about problem. They seem not to have had any other complaints about problems with the seat belts in the 2004 f-150 supercabs.
