The seatbelts in the back seat are installed to high causing the belt to cross over the neck which is a safety concern in individuals 5 feet 4 and less which can paralyze an individual on impact. The seatbelt is not adjustable unlike the front seatbelts. I contacted northside ford in sa and they did not any accessories. This is a high safety concern. This is a concern for my 14 year old son.

I purchased a certified used ford f150 from fullerton ford in somerville, nj 3/13/2020. There were multiple repairs to be made on the vehicle prior to me taking possession that were not completed. I later found out that the vehicle was also subject to recall 18v‑568 which was also not completed. The dealership refused to do any of the work they agreed to do and then refused to answer any inquiries by me and I ultimately had to take the vehicle to another dealer to have to recall work done.

My vehicle was stationary parked in my drive way, as I came out from my house (around 8pm) I noticed the windows looked very dark and I could not see in the truck. I opened the driver door and was overwhelmed with a dense electrical burn smell coming from the cab of the truck. The fire looked like it stayed near the roof of the cab and originate from both center podium seat belt mounts. Both seat belt mounts attached to the rear doors for the front driver and passenger had extreme amounts of heat originating from that area. The plastic around both these areas has completely melted away and caught fire to nearby work items on the backseat bench. Smoke damaged everything inside the cab of the vehicle.

I was sent a recall notice, went to sunnyvale ford to talk to them about service and they were very rude and blew me off. They blamed ford corporate and said it wasn't their problem. They were very inflexible about dropping off my vehicle and were confrontational at the service desk and when going to drop off the vehicle. There were no instructions on the recall notice about how to engage them properly. Now I've had to drive my vehicle for extra time in an unsafe state and am trying to coordinate another dealership to drop it off at.
