Ford F-250 SD seat belt problems

Filed Jun 13, 2026 · Airbags, Seat belts · TX

Left rear seat belt buckle or system failed causing a fault in the Airbag/Restraint system. The fault initially happened in June of 2025 with about 50k miles on the vehicle. I took it to a dealer who told me the buckle was not available and the whole system needed to be replaced for over $1500. Vehicle seldom has anyone in the back seat but that is where my children sit. Looking at posts on the internet, this seems to be a common enough problem that this should be taken care of under recall or customer service warranty.

The horn does not work at all and the air bag light is on. The fan doesn't blow at all, the car just starts making loud noises, and the theft light seams to be on in the middle of the front dash bord. The reason is due to previouse owner as the car was like this before I baught the vehicle so the reason for the condition is due to unknown reason of previouse owner not taking care of it.

The driver's side seat belt comes unbuckled without the latch being touched while driving. This results in an unsafe situation where the seat belt isn't providing any safety and it also requires two hands to re-buckle it taking my hands off the steering wheel. This happens while driving in my driveway, on city streets and highways. The problem has been happening soon after I bought the truck used on november 10, 2004.

For about 7 months, my son has been driving the 2001 f250 sd under normal driving conditions. There have been many instances where the driver's side front seat belt has unlatched on its own. It has also happened to me while driving. The truck was taken back to ford dealership on 3/7/03 under recall 01s21 seatbelt. "buckles were inspected, ok as per 01s21, no repairs needed." we were charged $27.16 for the inspection. Took the truck back to dealership today (5.27.15). They have no advice for us. There are many open complaints for this problem. Please do something about this before someone gets killed. I've seen the reports of many injuries already.
