Driver side seat belt unlatches at random. I've seen complaints about this on this website, so I'm not the only one having this problem. Problem has been going on for a few years and I don't know the date or mileage when it started happening. The dealer just tried to sell me a new latch for around a hundred bucks. Seat belt latches don't just wear out that easy, my '73 mustang has latches that still work.

Dt: consumer states that the seat belt latch keeps coming undone. Consumer looked online and found that there was recall 01v227001. When consumer contacted ford she was told that this vehicle was not part of this recall. Due to VIN. The buckle started coming undone only on bumpy roads. But last week it came undone twice on a city street. She originally thought it was because she had not latched it properly, but once it started on the city streets, latching was not the problem. This problem occurred once a year.
